Adobe Premiere Pro vs. Adobe Elements

Okay, so, I need new editing software because WMM isn't cutting it anymore. My videography class uses Adope Premiere Pro, and its a fuckin baller program. However, its pretty expensive, and it retails for something like $400. With my student discount I can get it for about $150. On the other hand, Adobe Elements is a watered down version of Premiere Pro that retails for $150, and with my student discount I could most likely get it for under $100. Which seems like a better deal?

go with premier pro, because elements will eventually "not cut it"

If you're into paying for things that's a great deal, but it's free on the internet.

You're not getting Premiere 2.0 for $150, sorry.

Try it off of adobe.com (one month trials - full version) that should help you figure out whether or not you really need the pro version. If Elements is too basic and you don't want any other products from adobe suite (After Effects, Audition, CS-2 - which i kind of see as a necessity) to supplement premiere just look into Sony's Vegas.

If you don't want to pay for anything, get the trial and shoot me a PM, i have keys for all the aforementioned software, plus shit like dreamweaver.

download opera explorer, from http://www.opera.com/
and use that to download torrents. they download just like normal files with that program.

That's good and everything but you get a guaranteed clean and updated install off of Adobe.com without the torrent trackers.
