User Movies

[tmnader]

Was wondering if there is a website or a link here in the forum that has user created movies in premiere. would love to see everyone's creations.

Although you can and must have found various video galleries scattered online (YouTube et al.), Elements Village offers only a photo gallery for users to display their Photoshop Elements creations since this web site's model is more photography than videography. I do and will continue to do all that I can to encourage a wider perspective, but....

Have you looked at the free video tutorials in the Learning Center section of http://www.photoshopelementsuser.com?

However, look up some of the Premiere Elements Forum posts here from "timesaving". He frequently provides links to his Premiere Elements videos starring Tango. Timesaving is an excellent role model, starting with what he perceived to be a menacing looking learning curve and taking control.

Take a look at the following Adobe link and see if you can reproduce any of the sample video (effects, transitions, style)
http://www.adobe.com/products/premiereel/samples.html
It may not be your version, but those videos can be reproduced in whatever version that you have.

Someone around Julius Caesar's time said "The eye sees by reflection, so let me be your mirror." In this case, I would would suggest that you turn away from the mirror and explore, experiment, and create...look at and apply Picture in Picture in the Preset Effects, the variety of transitions, the variety of effects, and so on.

Let me know if any of this helped.

Some of the members here are also members of the Adobe forum and Muvipix.
There are lots of member videos to check out at;
The muvipix gallery http://muvipix.com/cpg/ The contest videos are the best :)
and the Adobe Premiere Elements U2U forum videos at
http://www.chuckengels.com/PremierVideo/index.html

For some reasons, I do not recall user videos at the Adobe Forum...there used to be a separate section of the Premiere Elements Forums titled something like Premiere Elements Techniques and Tricks which contained user written tips.

tmnader...is it just curiosity about what other users are producing or are you looking for some ideas to include in your present project? If the latter is the case, please describe what you are after in general theme or terms and we will try to come up with some original ideas for you to showcase your photos in a video. Since, if you look hard enough, it is rare to find anything "original" any more, we can still mix known techniques to achieve unique and interesting results.

To be continued,

ATR, back in 2005 I started chuckengels.com so Adobe Premiere Elements U2U forum members would have some place to share their work. That turned into videoinasnap.com which eventually became muvipix.com

All three sites still exist and the old forum videos are still available to be viewed at the chuckengels.com site. I'm sure you will recognize some of the names as they are long time forum regulars, many before your time.

Thanks Chuck and ATR. To answer your question ATR I just wanted to see the program in action by other users. Enjoyed watching the contest entries. I think I am catching on to this program and am now starting to have fun creating.
