    No you cannot use After Effects templates in Pr. Elements.

    After Effect is a compositing tool, while Elements is a non linear editing tool.

    After Effect has a very high learning curve.

    So if this is your first steps in video editing start getting to know Elements first before heading over to After Effects.

    I've never hear of a program called Adobe Effects.

    Could you be referring to After Effects, Adobe's professional special effects program?

    Why do you prefer to use it?

    I had never heard of "virtual broadcast news packages" so I googled it!  I was pleasantly surprised to see so many choices.  One example is https://www.pond5.com/after-effects/1/broadcast-news.html

    For the OP, yes every one that I saw requires a version of Adobe After Effects.  There is a free trial here:  Free After Effects | Download Adobe After Effects CC full version  After the trial, it is available through a Adobe Creative Cloud subscription.
