Settings on Premiere Elements
I’m going to be working with Elements on someones laptop (have only worked with Pro 1.0), and I downloaded the trial. I’m finding two things different that I cannot fix in Elements. 1). Every time I trim a clip in the timeline, everything to the right snaps and fills in the gap. How do I trim a clip in the timeline w/o it doing that. 2). When I select a clip in the timeline, hit the “home” key, it goes to the beginning of the project on the timeline, instead of the beginning of that clip. How do I fix that?
Another concern: The laptop I’m supposedly using on this location project with Premiere Elements 2.0 only has 512 ram. we are supposed to use a usb 2.0 for the external drive so as not to put avi files onto the system drive. I suggested the folk test things first, but heard they did not, and don’t plan on it. Any one test 512 ram with such a set up?
Thanks for any thoughts.

1) Hold down the CTRL key. (I think. Might be ALT.) Premiere Elements defaults to ripple editing with it’s tools, and holding down the modifier will change it to trim mode. Premiere Pro is the opposite way- it defaults to trim editing, but holding the modifier changes it to ripple.
2) Use Page Up and Page Down to navigate between cuts on the timeline.
Can’t say I’ve used less than 1 GB with Premiere Elements, but the obvious expectation is slower performance. Basic editing should be fine, but playback could suffer once you start to add a lot of effects or titles, and rendering will be slower.
