Premiere Elements 8 for Windows Essential Training

with Jeff Sengstack



In Premiere Elements 8 for Windows Essential Training, instructor and videographer Jeff Sengstack shows how this application can be the only one needed to view and edit video files and share them with family and friends. Jeff shows how to start a new project, set up the workspace, and arrange clips on the Timeline for an initial video take. He teaches how to apply specialized video effects, like Motion Tracker and the Effects Mask tool, to build more than just an average family video. He also covers how to add narration, music, transitions, and titles to a final movie. Exercise files accompany the course.
Topics include:
  • Getting video from a DV camera, USB camera, or hard drive
  • Adjusting timing for smooth transitions between clips
  • Adding text and shapes to clips with titling tools
  • Mixing audio tracks by hand for a custom sound
  • Building DVD menus with scene markers
  • Creating a good story for the final output
