Adobe’s Premiere Elements consumer/low-cost prosumer video editing and authoring software is arguably the best in its class and has consistently offered users a superb and easy-to-understand user interface complete with good reliability.
The package has been used for the production of materials at SimplyDV even though we also have its professional-standard sibling, Premiere Pro CS4, on hand and we like it a lot. It’s for that reason that we decided to make Premiere Elements the subject of our first own-label DVD tutorials.
With almost 7 hours of tutorials you’ll be using Adobe’s award-winning program like you’ve been editing digital video for years!
Devised, presented and produced by SimplyDV’s very own Colin Barrett, the content-packed DVDs are designed to help you create video clips which you can proudly show off to family members, friends and even work colleagues.
Relaxed, friendly style – it’s like having the tutor seated next to you
Since launching the DVDs in 2009, we’ve had lots of highly favourable comments from satisfied customers who love the friendly and jargon-free style of the DVDs and who value the fact that no assumptions are made of users’ existing knowledge of experience.
Just as a taster, here’s a sample module from DVD Disc 1:
As you can see, the tutorials are designed with you in mind; you can decided what to watch and when. You can work through the 39 modules contained in the 5-disc set at a pace to suit you and experiment with your own material as your skills develop. What could be simpler?
Here’s another sample clip containing excerpts from a module on Disc 4:
You can see for yourself that the modules are all presented in a friendly, over-your-shoulder style and don’t assume any prior editing knowledge or experience. Moreover, the 5 discs contain over 7 hours – yes, 7 hours! – of useful tips and tricks to get you going.
Editing your camera and camcorder clips is easy when you know how – so order yours now and start editing like a pro!

Hi Colin.
Any word yet on being able to download the tutorials? Its a little more “carbon friendly” (or at least less unfriendly) than posting them half way around the world?
Love what I’ve seen on YouTube so far (cunning move!)
Cheers from DownUnder.

Thanks! I’m in the process of producing a new set of downloable modules for Premiere Elements 8 but I’ve been delayed lately by an urgent commission – to produce screencast tutorials in support of a major European Union-funded software development project. I’ll be back on track soon and I’ll post news to everyone asap. Thanks for the kind comments. Watch this space!

Hi I have Adobe Premier Elements 8
and your tutorial Disc 1 PE7.
Just wondered regarding you progress with Tutorials for PE8.
Alternatively are your Tutorials for PE7 compatable for all intents and purposes with PE8?

I had to put the Premiere Elements 8 tutorials on the back burner due to family health problems this end. However, I’m back on the case now and I hope to have some modules online and ready for download via a secure gateway soon.

Colin, I bought your excellent set of DVD’s last year when they came out and I think they are ideal for beginners like you say. One question, are you updating them to show version 8 of the software at all and is it any different?

Hi. Yes, I am producing an update but the additional modules will serve only as supplementary modules rather than a replacement DVD set or such. I’m planning that they’ll be available for download, discounted for existing owners of the DVDs. I’ll post news when they’re ready.
