And if you're planning on burning AVCHD discs, keep in mind that the software doesn't yet support version 2.0 of the spec, which allows for 1080/30p. And I'm still unhappy with the way Adobe handles AVCHD import it tries and fails to process all the ancillary files that are part of the directory structure, and doesn't give you the option to copy the entire file structure wholesale so that it can be played back or just burned as if it's a disc. Running the Auto Analyzer to get the video tagged can take a while, though. It allows for hierarchical tagging, as well as Smart Tags, which can automatically classify your media as high, medium, or low quality, as well as tag what it thinks is in focus, low contrast, blurred, and so on. But this does represent Adobe's first 64-bit port of the package-Windows only, unfortunately-which is an essential step for future development of the product.Īdobe has beefed up the Organizer a bit to improve its video support, since it's now serving Premiere Elements as well as Photoshop Elements. And this update to Adobe's consumer video-editing software is even less jingly than the image-editing package when it comes to new bells and whistles. While its sibling Photoshop Elements is turning 10, the younger Premiere Elements just gets the digits.
