I can say this this is the best choice for inexpensive, yet powerful video editing on a PC. As a MAC user, (which is why I have older PC hardware), I have significant iMovie/iDVD experience. Looking at Elements from this perspective, I can say that it is nice to see a Timeline view for editing in Elements. It also has an iMovie-ish Sceneline editor as well.
It is also nice to be able to use video from any device, burn a blue-ray disc (not an option for Macs at this point) and do video composite work.
The video overlays, titles, effects, and transitions look amazing. If I were editing on a PC, this would be my choice.
I originally wanted to review this product from experience, but all I can give you is my impressions of it. When I tried to install it on my custom-built PC from 2005 (AMD Athlon XP 3200+) the installer disc stated that my computer does not support SSE2 instruction sets. This is also noted on the box. As a result I could not install this product on my machine.

Let me say these first so you put this review in perspective:
* I have used and like Adobe PhotShop a great deal.
* I liked PE4, unfortunately, PE7 has too many frequent, unexpected, and sudden crashes and freezes!
* I was amazed by the rich product features that I saw in PE7 before purchase,:
o The free music,
o Added quick movie production, etc., etc.
* Unfortunately, it is frustrating not to be able to use those features without crashes!
I think that the user interface is even nicer than PE4. To be fair, it might be that frequent crashes and freezes might have to do with my Windows Vista.
I have had a lot of trouble importing Sony FE11 HD footage and using it in PE7. The .m4v for instance is not processed properly. The audio track proceeds OK, but image frames freeze and stick. Even after frequent "saves" you lose work that was done prior to freeze. I was not successful in capturing Mino HD format. However, I do give credit to Adobe for indicating that Mino format is not supported.
There is an unexpected warning and a rapid freeze upon attempting to enter the next command before the present command is completely executed (command chaining.)
However, from Adobe, one of the most recognized brand names in industry, one needs to get a solid stable and robust "Adobe Style" product.
I hope that Adobe fixes these problems since Premiere is almost a religion! If ,and when they do, I will change my review or submit a more approving one.

The program is pretty sub-par, but my rating is only one star because they stiffed me on the refund.
They make you send in a "special tab" from the box. They claimed I didn't send it (which I did), so what do I do now? Great job Adobe, you got $20.00 but lost a customer for life.

I am finding it increasingly difficult to find a video transfer program that will work on my laptop with usb only inputs using Windows Vista as a platform. The problem is centered on the "Capture" phase of the video transfer. Most VHS to DVD programs work fine once you can get the video to be stored in a file on your computer. The problem is getting that video into a computer file.

This program has many memory crash problems. Im running Vista Home Pre 32 bit on a Dell 530 desktop, Core 2 Duo 2.33ghz, 4gig of ram, and a sata HDD with 90 gig of free space and all microsoft updates. Im using AVCHD files off a Canon HF200 camcorder. These are the hi res 24mbps mts files. PE ver 7 usually crashes at the 93% rendering point, which is just when the rendering from AVCHD/mts to DVD format ends, and the burn to disc starts. Would also not recommend the new ver 8 that just came out early this month, unless you can find where Adobe has cured this problem with the new ver8.
