Adobe Premiere Elements • Think of it as Adobe Premiere Lite • $70 at RAMtech • HUGE resource hog • Takes a full minute to load • Kind of “buggy”: random crashes, vague error messages • Minimum System Requirements • 2GHz or faster processor, Windows Vista or Windows 7 • 2GB of RAM • 12GB of available hard‐disk space to install • 1024x768 display resolution • Microsoft DirectX 9/10 compatible sound and display driver • Windows Media Player

  4. Formats • AVI • Uncompressed, huge file sizes • Very flexible, plays on anything • Lossless, good working format, NOT suitable for web • MP4 • Kodak Touchplay uses MP4 (we’ll use it as our working format) • Compressed, file sizes still large • Will play on most players (Windows, Quicktime, Real Player) • Lossless, good working format, NOT suitable for web • WMV • Windows media, compressed, needs Windows Media player (nearly universal) • Good quality • Good choice for final product (we’ll use this) • FLV, SWF • Flash, compressed, needs Flash player (very common) • Good choice for final product; compression sometimes shows • Plays well with Connect • MOV • Quicktime, compressed, needs Quicktime player
