Thanks Steve, I didn=92t realize I could d/l a trial version of Elements.

I
downloaded a trial version of the Sony product this afternoon and spent an
hour or so =91playing=92 with it.  It seems very comprehensive but not as

to use as Pinnacle.  It does seem to be a lot faster though which is one of
my gripes about Pinnacle just now.  I=92ll have a look at the Adobe product
now and compare but all the reviews I=92ve seen comment on the steep

Best of luck with Pinnacle!  :-D

I use Premier Pro which is expensive for what it is. However looked at
Elements when my Father was looking for a video Editing Suite recently and
was impressed, for the price. I was able to get it up and started and using
it in 15mins, but it is similar to Pro.

My Father found the interface difficult, it has the concept of multiple
windows which if you are not careful need moving or re-sizing. With minimal
assistance he was able to start producing reasonably quickly though, less
than a day.

You can download a  trial version from Adobe's web site and they also have

a
good support forum, which is invaluable.

I noticed that PC World had the latest PE ver 2 with Photoshop element V4
bundled and on offer at =A369 (Staines) which looked good value.

My Father opted to go with Pinnacle MediaStudio 10 (he was familiar with
Studio 9 as he had an SE version pre-loaded on his PC) I am helping him

t
out installation and other issues as we speak.
