- Both Premiere Elements and Premiere Pro CC allow you to sequence clips, add audio (like narration and natural sound), include transitions, manipulate color, and add titles. Premiere Pro CC adds more features on top of these basics, including support for more video, audio, and image file formats and more tools and utilities.
- I have been a consistent Elements upgrader since version 3.0, so I looked at the comparison between Premiere Elements version 15 & 2018, saw no reference to removing BluRay authoring, upgraded to 2018, and a month into a large video project found out that I could not create a BD disc from PrE 2018 nor could I open that project in my restored.

The question is what are you currently doing with PE and what do you expect and intend to do with PD14 ?
Are you interest in particular features ? (4k, fast rendering, action cam..)
I consider that you will find good added value if you update to director suite with color director and audio director.

I can't give you chapter and verse on the comparison but for what it's worth I tried out Premiere Elements in the hope of finding a better DVD/Blu-ray authoring experience. Suffice to say I found PrE very disappointing in several areas and quickly switched back to Power Director. This wasn't anything to do with the learning curve - I completed a couple of projects with it - but I found the design of GUI very poorly thought out. Things like pop-up menus obscuring the timeline and a very strange approach to handling transitions with clips being extended by the repetition of frozen frames for dissolves are two that come to mind.
There are many things I continue to grouse about with Power Director but I'd say that in it's market sector it's probably among the best. I've even considered mortgaging my house and buying the full version of Premiere but in addition to the cost, which is hard to justify for the amount of work I do, I also fear the horrendous learning curve.

That's the sort of thing I'm interested in hearing. Did you start with PrE?
I feel exactly the same way, and have told Adobe as much! If my only option was to 'rent' Pr Pro I'd switch in a heartbeat!
I suspect that Pr Pro may have the edge on PD but since, like you, I don't intend to morgage my home, I've gone with PrE. I'm thinking that it's only logical that PD would have the edge on Elements simlysimply because Elements is a stripped down version of the Pro version, and PD is a 'full version'.
Would you say PD has a lower learning curve? Is it more intuitive, or more reational?
I interested enough to have actually purchased it, I just don't have the time to invested in learning how these two editors compair; I'm always running behind in my projects as it is! Michael

No I had PD first. I've been using PD9 for around 5 years then upgraded tp PD13 last year
That's impossible to say because I'd been using PD for several years before trying PrE. It didn't seem to take long to pick up the essentials of PrE though, sufficient to decide I liked PD better.
The first NLE I ever used was Pinnacle Studio, editing MJPEG video from a capture card connected to an analog Sony camcorder. With a change to an AVI digital camera I then moved on to a UK-designed slightly quirky product called EditStudio which I liked greatly but the designers lost interest in developing it so when I bough a HD camera I had to move on again. I seem to remember I tried Pinnacle again and also Corel Videostudio and Sony Vegas then PD. I finally chose PD as the most intuitive.
As I said I tried PrE to see if it offered a better DVD/Blu-ray authoring platform as I find the PD Disc Creator module is one of its weakest points. For authoring ordinary DVDs I still use a stand-alone program that I used with EditStudio as that is far better but it doesn't support Blu-ray so I'm currently forced to use PD for that. The PD Disc Creator is still very buggy and atrociously clunky and non-intuitve in my opinion so I've been searching for a stand-alone Blu-ray authoring utility but with no success so far.
I have no doubt that Premiere Pro would blow PD out of the water but it's in a quite different market sector, being a true professional product with price to match. Incidentally from what I read on the Premiere Elements forum it seems that the problems with the GUI I mentioned were the result of a fairly recent 'refresh' of the design. I think it was originally based more on the Pro version and I feel sure that would be immaculate.

Last week, my hands-on review of Adobe Photoshop Elements 2021 revealed a powerful image-editing program at a very affordable price. This week, I am taking a look at Adobe Premiere Elements 2021, which provides a way for still photographers to meet their clients' video requests without deeply immersing themselves into the complexity of high-end Adobe Premiere Pro video editing. Accelerated GPU (graphics processing unit) performance means faster high-quality playback of effects and improved performance when cropping video. New video editing features include the ability to select a specific object or area of your video and effortlessly apply an effect that tracks throughout the video.
The MSRP for Adobe Premiere Elements 2021 is $99.99 for new users or $79.99 to upgrade. Bundled with Adobe Photoshop Elements photo editor, the cost is $149.99 for new users; $119.99 to upgrade.
New Additions to Premiere Elements 2021
Adobe Premiere Elements Vs Powerdirector 15 Ultimate
It's always interesting to see what the engineers have to add to programs that have been around for many years, as with Premiere Elements. Time machine restore from external drive. As mentioned above, the 2021 version includes the ability to easily select an object or an area of a video and apply one of the many prebuilt effects to the selection or to its invert. Premiere then tracks the selection through the video, applying the effect through time and space. For example, you can select an area of the video (I chose a butterfly), invert the mask and apply an effect to the background (I chose the New Blue Cartoonr effect). Running the video, the butterfly flutters around in its natural state and the background remains with the special effect.
There are 25 Guided Edits available in Premiere Elements. Two new Guided Edits in the 2021 version include the ability to create double effects with videos. For example, you can superimpose a video over a still photograph, or use a still silhouette to frame a video behind it. The other one is a large library of animated matte overlays that you can apply over a video to highlight the entire video, select scenes, or use as transitions.

User Friendly Guides
For a still photographer unfamiliar with video editing, there is a learning curve to understand not only the tools, but even the terms for the tools and techniques. But the interface in Premiere Elements is clean and logical, and the guided edits make it easy to perform basic video operations. Users familiar with Photoshop Elements, or previous users of Premiere Elements will be editing in short order. It is generally easy to perform simple edits, such as trimming the beginning and end of videos, adding a transition between clips, and adding music. However, it will take some experience and trial and error to understand and execute the steps the program wants you to take to complete more sophisticated tasks, even to complete the guided edits, to your satisfaction. As with any sophisticated still or video editing program, the more familiar you are with it and the more often you use it, the friendlier it will become.
What I Like About Premiere Elements 2021
The new ability to select an object within a video and apply an effect to it or to its surroundings with just a few clicks, then have that that effect track through the video is a wonder to behold. With the right video input, even if it is only a short section of a clip, it is a real attention getter. As is the ability to add animated matte overlays or double exposure effects to entire videos or shorter clips. The library of matte overlays is extensive, but I wish that there was the ability to add my own still photos for the double effects.
Speed increases are always welcome, and the ability of Premiere 2021 to show high-quality playback of many effects without having to render the timeline is a great new feature. Hopefully in time this ability will be available for all of the effects.
As video editing become more sophisticated, there is new attention given to the audio accompanying the images. The new audio tracks have their own sub-menu in the audio effects icon. There are categories for them such as jazz, folk, acoustic and others. They behave differently than the music tracks in some ways, including the ability to automatically bring the track in and close it out at the end. As always, you'll want more options from which to choose.
What I Don't Like
When applying effects in previous versions you could add a mask. The new precise selections ability along with motion tracking provides a moving mask that applies an effect to an object or area you designate in the initial frame. When the area stays in the same relative position in all of the frames, this masking and tracking works very well, particularly if you apply some feathering to better blend the mask into the background. However, when the masked object moves erratically, or outside of the original boundaries of the mask, the tracking in this version unable to follow. You can compensate for this by pausing playback and adjusting the mask for the new position, but this quickly becomes tedious. Even with high contrast subjects, better tracking is needed.
I was disappointed when I installed Premiere Elements 2021 on my Windows machine at home to find the playback to be uneven and bouncy. Checking the system requirements of the program against my system, I saw that Premiere requires a 6th generation or better Intel processor to run on a Windows or Mac platform. My iMac at home met the spec so I used it. If you're on Windows, check your System>About in the Window 10 Settings to ensure your processor is 6th generation or later.
How It Compares to Other Easy Video Editing Software
There is stiff competition in the video editing marketplace. Enthusiast-level programs, some at lower cost, such as CyberLink PowerDirector, Corel VideoStudio, Pinnacle Studio Ultimate, and Magix Movie Edit Pro offer robust video and audio editing tools and with features such as color grading, 360-degree VR support, and more sophisticated motion tracking. One advantage of Adobe Premiere Elements is the ability to smoothly transition from it to Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects if video editing become something that truly captures your imagination.
