With Adobe Premiere Elements 8 software, making incredible movies is easier than ever. Enhance your stories with professional style. Share virtually anywhere. And easily manage and protect all your video clips and photos.

Have fun with graphics that follow the motion
Want to add funny thought bubbles or goofy hats above people's heads? Use new motion tracking capabilities to add graphics, text, and effects that automatically move with the subjects in your scenes.

Manage and protect all your clips and photos from one convenient place
Bring all your video clips and photos together in the powerful, easy-to-use, fully featured new Organizer - the hub of your video and photo experience. Now it's easier than ever to find, view, and protect all your photos and video clips, and you can even view video clips full screen. Then dive in to a full range of creative activities and start enjoying your memories.

Save time with new automated options
Make movies with less effort. Adobe Premiere Elements software can automatically fix shaky footage and color and lighting problems, trim away all but your best footage, and balance audio elements to give you professional-quality sound throughout your movie.

Enliven the action with artwork and animations
Add sparkle to your scenes thanks to an all-new library of artwork, including fun frames, objects, and animations.

Create a polished movie instantly
Use creative editing techniques from Hollywood directors. InstantMovie automatically edits together your best clips with coordinated music, titles, effects, and transitions from the movie theme of your choice. All-new themes are included, and you can easily customize to achieve the results you envision.

Get the big picture
Get the full effect of your video clips and photos from within the Organizer with new full-screen previews.

Add visual pop exactly where you want it
Delight your audience with a touch of movie magic - blur faces, add cartoon heads, and more. Now you can apply any 2D video effect to a specific area of a scene and keep it locked on the action with motion tracking.
