Premiere Elements
Premiere Elements includes a host of digital movie-making tools to import video clips and photo stills from numerous devices, including Webcams, MPEG-4 video recorders, mobile phones, and DVD and HDV (high-definition video) camcorders. Once imported, users can easily drag and drop clips and stills into Sceneline and Timeline views for mixing with audio, user-recorded narrations, special effects, and clip transitions. They can then add a movie title, place some DVD scene markers, and output the finished project onto DVD or upload the digital video to the Web, an iPod, or a Sony PSP for sharing with others. For example, imagine how much more exciting the life cycle of a paramecium or Monarch butterfly could be if students took advantage of the program's stop motion settings to create time-movies from camcorder or still camera footage, then used the soundtrack options to narrate the process and dramatize each stage in the life cycle stage with sound effects and music.
