buying adobe elements 2018

[tushar4544]

hi i am very much new to video editing i want to do editing mainly for youtube gaming videos etc so i want to ask is it easy to understand or a little complex i am also looking for powerdirector 17 ultra which one will you suggest and if i buy adobe where do i get tutorials for it if i want to learn it from the beginning

[Steve Grisetti]

Which program is easiest to understand kind of depends on which fits most naturally into your knowledge base and workflow. Fortunately most programs, include Premiere Elements, offer free trials that you can download and test drive.

I have a complete course on the program available on LinkedIn Learning. I also publish a number of tutorials on YouTube and many more on my videomaker support site Muvipix.com. There is also "The Muvipix.com Guide to Adobe Premiere Elements" book on Amazon.com.

thanks for replying sir is there any advantage of this over powerdirector or vice versa

[Steve Grisetti]

It depends on what you're editing and how you work.

[tushar4544]

Sir i mainly use for editing gaming videos on youtube 

[Steve Grisetti]

Neither program edits gaming video well, since the software that records the screen usually produces video that doesn't edit well.

On the other hand, CyberLink PowerDirector Ultimate comes with built-in screen recording software. The video produced by this screen recorder edits perfectly in PowerDirector.

ok so i installed trial but at last it gave error that some items could not be installed please contact customer support

Light works is a great Open-source Video editing program and more stable then Adobe Elements 2018 but the free version only Produces Video in 720P which is still plenty good for Gaming videos. There are also tutorials on line but there is More of a learning curve. If you do speed runs Don't get the Newest Beta because the timer does not show up on the video. I only have Adobe Elements 2018

Hi Steve,

Has version 2019 improved upon the handling of screen recording software?

I see VFR is now supported.

[Steve Grisetti]

Working with that video format was not addressed in this version that I know of.

ok so i have downloaded premier pro now if i want to uninstall it and all other stuff that installed with it how do i do that like there is a task named adobe gc invoke utility in my startup how do i delete all stuff

[Steve Grisetti · Accepted solution]

I don't know anything about Adobe GC other than what I found with a Google search:

What is AdobeGCClient.exe?

It apparently checks the integrity of your program's installation, so I don't think you want to remove.

That said, if you've moved on to Premiere Pro, you should direct any further questions to that forum. We can't help you there.

[Steve Grisetti]

You installed the trial of which program?
