Please may I know the differences in between PE9 & PPro CS4

[MGadAllah]

Hello,

I've tried Google to understand the differences in between Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 x Adobe Premiere Elements 9 but I can not figure out what are the differences in between.

I've an option to buy Adobe Premiere Elements 9 with PhotoShop Elements 9 from adobe website for 100 usd (but do not know how as I am from Egypt which is not listed).

So please advise.

I've forget to mention that I'm already have Adobe Premiere Pro CS4.

Well, the difference between Premiere Elements and Premiere CS4/5 is like the difference between Photoshop Elements and Photoshop CS4/5. Unless you're a professional, you may not even miss the professional features in the Creative Suite.

Although Premiere Pro CS4/5 is a much more stable product. Adobe dedicates a lot of time and money into keeping it one of the best programs of its kind. With Premiere Elements, I sometimes feel like Adobe isn't really concerned with getting rid of all the bugs. It's a good product -- but occasionally I find something wrong with it that really makes me wonder what Adobe was thinking!

Premiere CS4/5 also uses embedded timelines rather than a single timeline -- which is my favorite professional software feature! It allows you to work on your movie as individual parts and them combine them into a single project.

So it's a little hard to compare the two. But, for my money, if I had the CS4 version of Premiere, I'd likely not ever use Premiere Elements.

Thanks a lot for your review. I'll keep my CS4.
