Difference between version Pro 2.0 and Element 3.0
Hi,
I’m about to buy one of the two version (Pro or Element). Quick questions for I gould make a decision :
1. Which one is the most recent?
2. Is there a big difference of number of Effects/Transitions between both versions?
3. Is both support native HDV?
4. Are both version verry precise when selecting a star/end points (meaning that I can select and really see each frame without jumping from 5 or 10).
5. Knowing that I gould get version Pro for a 100$ more do you think it’s worthit to go to version Pro 2.0?Regards.

Hi,
I’ve already look on the Adobe site and did not found any answer or specifications regarding the questions I have on Premiere Pro…

Elements is geared to consumers with little or no editing experience. It walks you through the entire process of capturing, editing and exporting. I’ve found it very intuitive for beginners, and certainly powerful enough for some pro editing. It can even do some tricks that Pro can not, including importing footage from DVD (non-encrypted), cell phones, and other odd consumer video formats.
However, as a pro editor, it isn’t something I could use every day. It lacks integration with other Adobe applications, and the simplified interface actually slows me down. It also lacks many import and export abilities that aren’t consumer-oriented. I’ve found it very useful for producers (who have little technical experience) to put together storyboards/animatics with Elements. It’s a very small investment, so if you are a beginner – give it a try.
If you’ve really found a place charging only a $100 difference between Elements and Pro, you’re either paying way too much for Elements, or way too little for Pro (in other words, make sure you can trust the seller). -
Elements 3 is very light on its feet, especially with compressed ource video. It installes with over 2 GB in the Program folder…tons of styles and templates.
One cool feature…the timeline scrolls during playback, not the CTI. Cool interface matches Photoshop Elements 5.
