Question

Creating a DVD is really slow and the trial banner is in the way

I want to create a DVD of a slide show from my recent trip.  I wanted to do a trial on Adobe Premiere to see how well it works.  Two things I noticed.  First: the speed of creating the DVD is extremely slow.  Second:  the video has a huge band across every frame that reads "Created by Adobe Elements Premier Trial".  The first is a nuisance and would make using the program arduous.  The second is a show stopper as I cannot see the images and determine their quality.  Is there a way to turn off the annoying message referred to in my second issue so that I can view the slides?

    The banner is there for a reason: trial.

    Besides it has no impact on the output quality of a file or dvd.

    Regarding speed, video rendering is one of the few things that make a computer work really hard.  It is the same with all video editing programs.  You have to have a strong computer and patience.   DVD writing is also a slow process.

    Regarding the banner, the only way you can get rid of it is to buy the software.  There has been a sale at 30% off for a few days.  I think it ends today.

    If you are making a traditional "movie" DVD, the quality will be bad.  The DVD was invented when we had tube TVs and is the old standard definition.  All your great travel photos will be reduced to a low resolution and look bad on any current flat panel HD TV.  It will be the same with any system making DVD. 

    There are several other output choices in Premier Elements that will make HD quality slideshows.  If you have one of the newest 4K TVs there are choices for that too. 

    FWIW, I took advantage of the sale and upgraded from my two year old version yesterday.   Nothing I've tried in the past half dozen years to make videos or slideshows works better.   There are tools built in to make them for everything from my best TV to Vimeo. 

    Good luck with your project.

    Thanks Bill.  It was what I thought (concerning the banner).  Unfortunately I was unaware of the video quality.  The quality does mean a lot so I think I will have to use a different route that the video maker option.

    You can make high quality slideshows that play on Blu-Ray players in Premier Elements.  You can also make high quality MP4s, copy them to a DVD disk and play them on most, or many, Blu-Ray players.  

    There are also slideshow options in Organizer that comes with Elements.  And, I'm sure you know of others.  I know nothing about it, but have read ProShow Gold is a favorite for many.  And, PowerPoint too!
