A good product, needs work November 21, 2008
As a previous user of Premiere Elements and Premiere, I was awaiting Elements 7 due to the hopeful inclusion of support for AVCHD editing. (I currently use a Canon HF-100.) Adobe had dropped the ball on leading the way into this new form of compression. Yes, you could edit AVCHD in Premiere but only with additional third party support.
As hoped, AVCHD support was included in Elements 7 however it is lacking in luster. This not to do with Adobe's method of managing the issues as much as the need for more powerful editing hardware.
Some food for thought.
1. I noticed that Audio dropped on almost every file loaded after a few seconds of playback in the time line.
2. Time line scrubbing was not smooth and exact marking at best was a task.
3. Rendering of standard definition to DVD show considerable artifacts that other products seem to manage better.
My editing system is based on and Foxconn x38a motherboard, Intel Quadcore Q9450, 4gig of 800Mhz ram, Asus 3870 graphics card, one 250 gig OS drive, one 250 data drive, Two Seagate 250 gig hard drives in raid 0 for capture/rendering, and Windows XP Pro. Not the fastest system but not shabby.
Some solutions I found to remedy problems with AVCHD in Elements 7.
Make sure you have an AC3 filter. (Took care of my audio issue.)
I purchased Cineform AspectHD intra-codec for use with Premiere which also works with Elements. This is not cheap software but is very effective at managing AVCHD.
Move to Windows XP/64 or Vista/64
Adobe CS4 is now out and I hope to review AVCHD management in this editor as the professional version usually has advantages over its' junior. I hope Adobe works on the compression management and releases a update to help people with average systems.
Overall rating on Elements 7 is good in my book but not the stellar product I would expect from Adobe.
 Crash City- Useless November 17, 2008

I have been a loyal Adobe Premiere Elements user for 3 years (version 2 and 3).
I just bought a brand new Windows Vista 64bit Quad Core machine, that I spec'ed to do High Definition Video editing. Everything works fine until I try loading Premiere elements. It totally locks up my computer. It looks like it works for about a minute, by then locks up solid. I've uninstalled and re-installed Premiere elements a few times, and even re-installed Vista (fresh install). No luck.
It doesn't even work in 64bit "compatibility mode", where it runs Premiere elements as an administrative program, and can run it like the OS is XP SP2. No difference. I then researched this program on the web, and found that there are a lot of crashing problems with release 7. I guess I'll have to get away from Adobe, and start looking somewhere else.

THE PROGRAM IS A BIG STEP UP FOR ADOBE ELEMENTS AND IS VERY FRIENDLY TO USE. MY ONLY PROBLEM IS TO JOIN ADOBE CLUB ON LINE. I HAVE FORGOTTEN MY OLD PASSWORD AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CONTACT ADOBE BY PHONE OR E-MAIL
Good features for someone new to editing, horrible stability issues November 11, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is really my first real experience with any type of video editing software. I picked up PE7 up to finally spend some time editing and backing up the hours of tape I had accumulated over the years. Because this is my first experience with software of this type I can't really offer comparisons to other options that are out there but I will give my impressions of PE7 from a beginner's perspective.
For a consumer level video editing application I found the utilities that are available in PE7 to be fairly extensive. For someone who is new to these types of applications PE7 can offer as many features and options as you are willing to play with. I installed the software and without any knowledge of how it worked explored and played around with the features, by the second day I was starting my first project. There are basic video effects/animations that you can play with, title animations and themes that can be applied to videos etc. Working with imported video clips is easy and quick. I have a 3 year old MiniDV camcorder and videos import without issues, I believe these clips are imported as AVI-DV files. I don't have an HD camera so I can't attest to the HD video editing but it is nice to have the option with this software in the future should I decide to upgrade.
Unfortunately the good features of the software can be overshadowed by some of the negatives. Mainly the crashing. It is unacceptable for Adobe to release a product that has clearly not been thoroughly tested as it crashes far to frequently. Reviews of PE4 mention instability issues, I figured 7 would address these, that was not the case. Working in PE7 you will soon get used to saving very frequently as crashes seem to pop up even when not doing anything particularly taxing to your system. Another issue I am not thrilled with is the difficulty I am having importing other videos that have been encoded using divx or xvid formats. I believe this can be solved by hunting down the correct video and audio codecs. Some have complained about the Photoshop online accounts, I do not have any experience with this as I don't intend to share any of my projects this way. I can say it is not worth signing up for a basic account if you are hoping to use tutorials, a Google search will return more useful information.
Overall I'm happy with PE7. I needed something to use to edit my video and this fit the bill. When it isn't crashing it works well for me, crashing is just way to frequent.
 Great for AVCHD! Not so great for MP4 (AVC H.264) November 11, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I am NOT a newbie to video editing, in fact I have been an avid user of Adobe Premier Elements for some time now...with ver. 4 being the most recent before the version 7 purchase. Let me get this out in the open, I was disgusted with Adobe PE7 at first because I was trying to edit and burn footage from my same old camcorders....footage that Adobe PE3 and 4 handled just fine. I have tried MULTIPLE projects now and have yet to be able to render or burn a DVD using the MP4 (avc H.264) footage from my Sanyo Xacti or my Samsung NV24HD. Even worse I cannot keep a project of any size open long enough to do any editing before the program gives me a "low on memory" warning and then crashes! Version 4 was crazy enough, as I was always sure to hit the "save" button many times while editing, but this version 7 is a joke for these formats. I can't even add the MP4 files to the time-line without it crashing. Now for the good part and why I give this release a 4 star. I was asked by a buddy to edit and burn some youth football footage from his newly acquired Canon HF10 with SDHC card. I was excited. Although I had no clue what an .mts file was Adonbe PE 7 not only recognized it and imported it quickly...but I proceeded to edit both video and audio (together and separately)as well as burn to a regular DVD (not BluRay). It was a great experience. The only reason I won't give this a 5 star is that Adobe still shows this PE7 program as being compatible with MP4 and I beg to differ as a user...but if you are going the direction I want to go, AVCHD and BluRay, etc...Adobe did something right in this category. I will add that while i am not a big fan of the GUI of Pinnacle Studio Plus 12 it has handled ALL of my format types without a problem. I am running Vista Basic on a Celeron 1.60Ghz processor (Dell Inspiron 530 desktop) with 4GB of ram.
