Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0 Review

This is the worst piece of software I have ever had the misfortune to own.



I did a lot of research on this software before I went ahead and bought it. I compared user reviews on numerous relevant websites and this seemed to be the best overall software.



On the positive side, there are many features with this software which can make the editing very professional.



However, my home PC's specification exceeds the minimum stated on the box. It crashes every time I use it. It slows down the computer SO MUCH it makes it unusable. To make a comparison, I then took the software to my work. This workstation is quad core, 8 GB RAM, Pentium 3, RAID array, etc., and it is no better. The tracking feature stalls the program to a halt. Burning DVD's is impossible due to hardware conflicts (which has been proved on the Adobe forums).



Avoid this software like the plague, it is poor, to say the least. I will never buy another Adobe product again.
