Freeze Frame

Grab a single frame from a video clip to use as a still image in your current movie or to save as a still on your hard drive

for use elsewhere. For example, you can use a still in your movie to show a character start an action, but then stop mid-

action, frozen on the screen.

For more information, see Freeze and hold frames.

Motion Tracking

Motion Tracking gives you the ability to track moving objects in a video clip. You can attach clipart like still images,

graphics, or video clips to these objects.

For more information, see Apply motion tracking in video clips.

Movie menu

Note:

In Premiere Elements 2019, the Movie menu is available only in Expert view.

You can create a menu-based DVD by using one of the predesigned menu templates included with Premiere Elements.

A menu can include sound and motion. Some templates contain drop zones, where you can drag and drop a still image

or video to personalize the menu background.

For more information, see Creating disc menus.

Pan & Zoom

Using the pan and zoom tool in Adobe Premiere Elements, you can create video-like effects from images or movie clips.

For movie clips, the effect works best when there is minimal movement of objects within the clip.

When working with the pan and zoom tool, you select objects and the order in which they are panned and zoomed

into. Adobe Premiere Elements provides you with customization options using which you can apply the effect

according to your requirements.

For more information, see Use pan and zoom to create video-like effect.

Smart Trim

Smart trimming enables you to trim the low-quality sections of a video file. Smart trim can be done manually and

automatically. You can trim clips from the Quick view timeline or the Expert view timeline.

For more information, see About Smart trimming.

Time Remapping

Add a slow or fast motion effect to your videos for that wow factor. For more information, see Time remapping - Guided

edit.

Audio tools

Audio Mixer

Use the Audio Mixer to adjust audio balance and volume for different tracks in your project. You can adjust the balance

and level of audio contained within your video clips, and within soundtrack and narration audio.
