Summary: Best movie software for the price
Comment: If you need more video editing capabilities than the standard types of movie making programs that come with computers provide, then this product is for you. It also creates the automatic type movies, but for me its real beauty is allowing to overlay multiple videos and produce professional looking movies. I have only limited movie making experience but have been very satisfied with what I can do so far. There are many features that I am not even yet familiar with. The one disappointment for me is the DVD authoring is not as robust as I would have hoped for, in fact it seems so limited that I am going to have use a different program to create DVDs. But for making the movies to go on the DVD, Adobe Premiere Elements is excellent.

Summary: My Head Hurts...
Comment: I was excited to receive this product. But after a couple hours with it, I haven't accomplished anything and my head hurts.
Help - Online... What if I'm not connected to internet? No Help?
Add Files... No search and add to repository - must go find files manually?
Add Media... File browser hoplessly general AND hopelessly specific - can't get "all movies" or "all still images", etc.
Organizer... Project oriented - means must search elements for every project...
- every drag and drop changes view away from last selected
Capture... Found webcam without any problem (wow)
Drag Clips... After bottom row is full must scroll to drop next clip - doesn't automatically reveal next open box
Video Sizing - no key-sequence or other control to maintain aspect ratio
I thrashed through a number of attempts to configure the product for easy follow-up use. I didn't manage to configure the software for anything but the current project.
Thrash was the mode of operation and very quickly grew tiresome.
There's a lot of power here but it just looks like a program written for programmers who live to program. For people who want to get in, get something done, and get on with life, it's a disaster.
I gave it a medium rating because even though it's not for me, I am sure there are people who will love the thrash, gadgets and do-dads.

Summary: Highly recommended for the typical user
Comment: Overall, Adobe Premiere Elements 7 is a great program for the casual video enthusiast. Having used Premiere Elements 4 for a while, this new version is a nice step up. One of the most useful features is what Adobe calls "Smart Tagging," which makes it easier to organize and use video clips. A new feature is the ability to make composite videos, which uses a kind of "green screen" means to isolate a person or object from one scene to use in another. The program also includes more dramatic effects for scene transitions. Many people will be tempted to over-use some of these novel features before realizing that they can quickly become annoying to viewers. One of the most useful features in this program enables the user to drag-and-drop scenes into place or move to a new position. I found Premiere Elements 7 to be fairly intuitive and easy to use. The learning curve is not as steep as it is for Premiere Pro CS4 (nor is it as expensive), and for most users this program will provide more than enough features to keep things interesting for some time to come. I highly recommend this version for the typical user.

Summary: Good BASIC Video Movie Making Software
Comment: "Adobe Premier Elements 7" is a fairly good BASIC movie making package with some great effects and transitions, but has a high learning curve for what you get. Having used two other versions of Premier Elements, I was able to get the software installed and working with little trouble but I'm not sure that someone new to video software would have the same luck. The software has a lot of great features, once you get used to using the interface, including:
* Easy upload to YouTube
* Chromakey ("Green Screen") support
* Tons of effects and transitions
* Great Theme templates (be sure to install them from the CD menu)
* SmartSound automatic music scoring (really nice)
There are also some things I really do not like:
* The opening menu always shows the "photoshop" online site invitation and login screen
* The editing controls are hard to navigate on most of the tools (text is very badly handled)
* The timeline is too simplistic and makes working with multiple clips very hard
If you are upgrading from an older version, you will have no problem picking this one up and running.
If you are new video editor looking for a fairly basic editing package and have a lot of time to learn this program, this package will allow you to make some very impressive movies. Otherwise you might want to consider Sony Vegas Movie Studio 9 Platinum Pro Pack (my favorite) or Pinnacle Studio Ultimate Version 12 (also a very good entry level package).
I can recommend "Adobe Premier Elements 7", but only for existing users of previous versions of the software or people with some video editing experiance and some learnig time on their hands.
