Keyframe vs dragging image in monitor

One big difference between Premier Pro and Premiere Elements is that you need a much more powerful computer and multiple internal hard drives for smooth operation of Premiere Pro.

PowerDirector has a free 30-day trial. Why don't you download it and give it try.

I have done that. I put it on my ASUS ZENBOOK UX32VD and will put it through it's passes over the next couple weeks.

Regarding Premiere Pro,

I had exactly the same experience with Ps; when I switched from PsE I was amazed by how much easier it was to use; all that stuff that was "hidden away" was suddenly out there and easy to find!

I'll have to see how it goes with PowerDirector before I decide on Pro though
