Then you can view, search, and sort your assets in a variety of ways — including by filename, tag, date, and time -  and quickly start making your movie.

Jump-start your editing with Movie Themes (New)
Turn a sequence of scenes into a polished movie in just a few clicks! Choose from event-based themes like Wedding and Birthday or style-based themes such as Silent Film and Music Video. Adobe Premiere Elements automatically applies coordinated transitions, music, and professionally designed layouts for titles, credits, and disc menus.

Mix and refine your audio for greater impact (New)
Use background music and sound effects to underscore emotions, add emphasis, or create a mood. The new Audio Mixer works just like a mixing board in a recording studio, letting you adjust relative volumes with sliders so, for example, dialogue can be heard clearly over music.

Share movies in HD for the highest quality (New)
Take advantage of the latest technology and enjoy your movies in high definition, including on Blu-ray Disc.

Animate titles to fit your movie's personality (Enhanced)
Choose from a set of world-class Adobe fonts designed to look great on video, and customize them with shadows, glows, and other effects. Then animate your titles to make them bounce, spin, or zoom across your scenes.

Share your stories on the Web (Enhanced)
Easily upload your movies to YouTube or your personal sharing page. Adobe Premiere Elements 4 takes care of optimizing and formatting for the specific destination so your movies always look great.
