Switching back to Quick will only allow you to see the first layer, although the edit will still display any video clip on other layers as you play the footage back – but you won’t be able to see them in the edit section itself until you go back to Expert mode. You can switch between both modes by simply clicking on the title in the top menu bar, but this can create confusion, especially if you’ve worked with multiple layers. One possible advantage to the Quick edit mode is the fact that, just like Organizer, it too is touch-friendly, if your PC is equipped with a touchscreen. The main advantage to the Expert section is the ability to work with multiple layers of video, allowing you to create complex edits with relative ease. This is where you can assemble your clips, effects and titles, to produce a short film. If you’re new to video editing, this is an effective and easy to follow process.ĭepending on your level of expertise you’ll either spend most of your time in Quick or Expert mode. The Guided section is essentially a series of tutorials to teach you the basics of editing and how Premiere Elements works, using your current project as a backdrop to what you’re being taught.

The default interface is really simple and self-explanatory thanks to the large tips written next to each layer, such as ‘Drop Title’, ‘Record Narration’, and so forth.
