New export and share workflow: Adobe has tried to make the process of encoding video and uploading to common sites - YouTube, Facebook and Vimeo, at least to start - more straightforward by breaking your options out by target device or sharing site. The text doesn't render very crisply, either. And though you can customize the graphics it uses to a certain extent, you can't delete any of the elements. Every time I tried to change the frame for the background from the default, though, it expanded the video display and closed the motion title panel when I reopened the panel, it defaulted back to the first frame of the video.
You can select from predefined graphics text blocks, fonts and styles and different animations.
Motion titles: These include movement in and out of the frame, fades and the ability to pull a frame from the video as the title background. The great thing about the guided edits in Premiere Elements (as opposed to Photoshop Elements) is that it actually shows you what to do after using it a few times, you know how to produce the effect you want. The other, Black and White with Color Pop, shows you how to convert your video to black and white and then bring out a specific color. New Guided Edits: The first is Slow or Fast Motion, which walks you through the program's time-remapping feature to slow down or speed up segments of a video. More prominent audio tools: The audio features were somewhat buried in previous versions, so Adobe has given them a dedicated way to access them, plus an Audio view in the timeline. However, the automatic tools did a creditable job doing a quick-and-dirty tonal adjustment on video that was shot with a flat (very low contrast) profile.
4K support: Yup, it imported my videos with no problems, but Smart Fix didn't seem to work with them.
