Adobe Premier elements 10

Before the stages of filming began we decided to research into good and easy to use video editing software. after finding a variety there was two options to chose from firstly is adobe premier elements 10 this software seems basic to use with some key professional elements to it, after looking further into this software we found out that it allows for so many editing options to video such as transitions audio and video changing also it allows you to change the colour through grading and effects that can be added. one of the key features that premier elements can do that stands out for me is the ability to use a green screen this means that if we were to use a green screen in our trailer theres a future that early and quickjly apples the green screen method for you.  another key feature that I think is effective is the ability to layer different pieces on top of each other this includes video audio and picture. Adobe premiere elements can be used for both begginer and intermediate leaners. the step by step guides built into thee software showing you how to use each feature correctly could be very helpful. and that the organisational future that automatically organises your footage and files is very beneficial.

                                                   IMovie

Another video editing software we researched into was iMovie this software is very similar to premier elements due to the simple use and layout of the software. its easy to organise video with the capability to cut crop duplicate video and images. also the ability to add over lays and text to image and video is very effective. even though this is a good software to use there are some things that aren't as good as premier elements for example the future to be able to cut and move audio is not apart of the iMovie software which is a paints making a trailer sound is very important so the freedom to move it around is key. another issue is that the layout of the software is harder to navigate due to the features being compact into one visible icon for example the video and audio are together in one bar unlike separate in premier elements. after the usage and trailing on both softwares finding out a discovering the different aspects of them as a group we have decided to use premier elements. last year for our opening 2 minutes we used iMovie for parts and due to the result also we thought as we wanted the more providential look and features for our trailer this year we would go for that.
