1 out of 5 stars Terrible Program   July 18, 2010
David G. Kennedy (USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I downloaded the 30day trial version of PE8 and battled with getting it working, poor performance during editing workflows and frequent lockups and occasional warnings of memory problems. Using W7 on a E8500 with 4Gb - how much more do I need to spend to get basic video editing capability Adobe? Ended up downloading the trial version of Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 10.0. After spending an hour running Vegas through its paces I purchased it and have not looked back. Still bent out of shape with Adobe for wasting hours of my time trying to make PE8 do what it is supposed to do. Vegas wipes the floor with it.


2 out of 5 stars Tried on both XP and Vista, and on a 32 bit and a 64 bit system...   July 16, 2010

It just doesn't work. I tried this out on my older desktop running Windows XP, 32 bit system with 3 gigs of RAM. It would crash whenever I would even begin working on editing videos. Next I loaded Elements 8 onto my new laptop. On my laptop running Vista, 64 bit system and 6 Gigs of RAM, I could get as far as saving a project before it would lock-up and eventually crash. I am using a NVIDIA card in my laptop and have done all recommended driver updates that Adobe has mentioned.

While there was another reviewer who mentions having immensity tricked out home built computer and that they have no problem running this software on it, it would seem that Adobe should make this so at least MOST new computers would be compatible with it. If my brand new $2K gaming laptop doesn't have the components to run this without crashing all the time, it would seem they may be expecting a bit much for the home user.



2 out of 5 stars Too many compatibility problems to be worth the price   July 15, 2010
Cam Soper (Smithville, MO USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

As other reviewers have noted, Premiere Elements 8 is horribly buggy and rife with incompatibility problems.

For me, the #1 reason I've had for years to use Premiere Elements is robust multi-track audio editing. Most consumer-level editing packages lack sorely in this regard. I did recently discover Magix Movie Edit Pro, which provides outstanding support in this area, without the system compatibility and stability issues. That being the case, I have little reason to use Premiere Elements anymore.

My first video editing program that didn't come with my camera. Definitely a dumbed down version of what I would assume is a better program. I feel rather constrained by it. But I'm used to being a power user. I suppose it does what I need it to do but it's crashed on me more times than is reasonable.


1 out of 5 stars Believe the bad reviews   July 7, 2010

2 out of 2 found this review helpful

All the other reviewers warning you about this piece of crap software are right. I have had nothing but problems, problems, problems with it, from day one. The preview video never did work right, making it impossible to edit anything effectively. I never got close to the point where I could apply any special effects or transitions.

After successfully uploading about five videos to Youtube (after pulling my hair out), the program now crashes immediately as soon as it loads. I finally uninstalled it and went back to standard definition files using good old Premier 3. An embarrassment for Adobe and a complete waste of money. DON'T EVEN THINK OF BUYING THIS PROGRAM. You will live to regret it.
