INTRODUCTION
Premiere Elements 12 tryout from Adobe was found online several hours ago and downloaded and installed (along with Photoshop Elements 12) on Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 bit with firewalls and anti-virus disabled. Mozilla Firefox version 23.0.1 was the browser used. The download and installation went without problems. This tryout will be the basis of the First Look work, and work will be confirmed and followed up with the purchased version at a later date.With the exception of the "Guided" included between the "Quick" and "Expert" workspace headers, the Premiere Elements 12 Editor interface looked much like that seen for Premiere Elements 11.
 |
| Figure 1. Premiere Elements 12 Editor Windows Interface. |
The following assortment of items were the first to catch my attention:
1. Using Process Explorer, confirmation that Premiere Elements 12 in Windows 7 64 bit is a 64 bit application.
2. Premiere Elements 12 Project Presets, new inclusions to the Premiere Elements 11 choices for NTSC AVCHD project presets are QFHD 16 x 9 23.976, QFHD 16 x 9 29.97, and QFHD 16 x 9 59.94. What is QFHD?
It appears to be for the source media with resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels. The PAL counterparts would be just QFHD 16 x9 25 and QFHD 16x9 50.
Please refer to http://www.stuff-review.com/2012-04/what-is-4k-and-qfhd-resolution/
The default project preset appears to remain at NTSC AVCHD Full HD 1080i30 (NTSC install) or PAL AVCHD Full HD 1080i25 (PAL install).
3. Workspace Choice, "Guided", a new inclusion to the "Quick" and "Expert" workspace choices. The "Guided" step by step includes
- Getting Started With Elements
- Trimming Unwanted Frames
- Adding Transitions Between Two Clips
- Adding Scores To Your Movie
- Adjusting Brightness+Contrast & Color
- Adding Titles To Your Movie
- Adding Narration To Your Movie
- Creating A Picture In Picture
- Animate Graphics Easily
5. New, Publish+Share/Computer/XAVC-S.
What is XAVC-S?
It appears to be Sony's version of AVCHD (MPEG4 AVC/H.264) with a .mp4 wrapper. Please refer to http://www.redsharknews.com/technology/item/624-sony-reveals-its-consumer-4k-camera-format
6. Also in the Publish+Share area, new category "Private Web Album" which is Adobe Revel based.
And, the Premiere Elements 11 Online category is now named "Social Websites", but it still contains the Premiere Elements 11 choices of Facebook, Vimeo, or YouTube. Under the Disc category, Blu-ray continues to be just burn to, no burn to folder. And, as mentioned in "5", there is a new category under Computer named XAVC-S. Nearly missed the big news for Publish+Share/Disc/AVCHD, burn to disc or folder. There are 2 new NTSC presets with 23.976 progressive frames rate, but there are no PAL counterparts for them.
7. Rebirth of Motion Tracking in version 12 for this feature that was removed from version 11.
See Tools Menu or Tools Tab in Quick and Expert workspaces.
8. Camera Raw 8.0.0.137 as the version that comes with the Premiere Elements 12 tryout, but which can be updated to the latest version 8.2, using Premiere Elements 12 Help/Update.
9. Big news for the disc menu people, the number of Timeline menu markers appears now to be beyond the 25 limit of prior version. But, wait. I am still laughing on this one.
Given a menu with 6 scene buttons per page and 99 scene markers placed on the Expert workspace Timeline. No error or warning or limit messages. And, I did get 16 scene menu pages with 6 scenes and 1 scene menu page with 3. Great. When I went back to the Timeline to place a 100th scene marker, I could go no further and was greeted by the following message

http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/05/pe11-difference-matte-as-substitute-for.html
Now begins the exploration of Premiere Elements 12 to determine gains, losses, and no changes going old to new.
PART 1 WORKSPACE OVERVIEW
There are now 3 workspaces in Premiere Elements 12. Expert and Quick workspaces are carried over from version 11 and a new one added, seen as Guided (a step by step workspace). In reality, it can be Guided Quick or Guided Expert.Expert and Quick Workspaces
Menu Headers
The Premiere Elements 12 menu header lineup remains the same as in Premiere Elements 11: File, Edit, Clip, Timeline, Text, Action Bar, Tools, Window, Help. On the whole there were more no changes than gains or losses in the comparison of the old and new.
File. Loss. "Revert" which has to do with Undoing changes.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premiereelements/using/WS09e4b3c48f3a79fc19b622510385d4355c-7fdb.html
Edit. No Change.
Clip. No Change.
Timeline. Gain. "New Adjustment Layer" which appears to be an option to create a new blank file above a video clip so that effects applied to it are reflected in the video below it. The perk is that the "New Adjustment Layer" can be resized, repositioned, and have it duration altered. In non technical terms, it might be considered an Effects Mask on steroids and possibly less problematic. However, the Effects Mask feature is still available under the Clip Menu.
Text. No Change.
Action Bar. TradeOff. Premiere Elements 11 Music is now replaced with Audio. Still relates to scored customizable audio but without a SmartSound label. More on this later.
Tools. Gain. The reborn Motion Tracking option. To be gone into later.
Window. No change.
Help. TradeOff. Sign Out (with user email address listed) appears to be a replacement for Premiere Elements 11's "Deactivate".
There are still a Save button and a Play Full Screen button to the far right of the menu headers.
Guided Workspace
Step by Step Workflows
This workspace can be Guided Expert or Guided Quick. Figure 3 shows a view of the Guided Expert workspace.
 |
| Figure 3. Premiere Elements 12 Guided Expert Workspace. |
Expert and Quick Workspaces
Add Media
Expert and Quick Workspaces have the same Add Media choices. And, as in Premiere Elements 11, in Premiere Elements 12, Expert route is Add Media to Project Assets to Expert Timeline and Quick route is Add Media direct to the Quick Filmstrip. Figure 4 shows Expert Add Media and the choices.
 |
| Figure 4. Expert and Quick Workspace Add Media Choices. |
The ordering of the choices is different so, for those who are used to "Files and folders" located toward the bottom of the list, there may be some unintended DV Camcorder hits.
Expert workspace Project Assets remains the same as in Premiere Elements 11. For those who did not read the Premiere Elements 11 First Look, the "Pin View" icon may be a puzzlement. The story is that, when the icon is pressed in and shows a gray background, Project Assets stays open after the file is dragged from it to the Expert Timeline. If icon is not depressed, Project Assets closes after the file is dragged from it to the Expert Timeline. Refer to Figure 5.
 |
| Figure 5. Project Assets' Pin View Option. |
Expert and Quick Workspaces
Publish+Share
Premiere Elements 12 Publish+Share major categories are Private Web Album, Social Websites, Disc, webDVD, Computer, Mobile Phones and Players. Disc, webDVD, Computer, and Mobile Phones and Players are carry overs from version 11 to 12. Social Websites is the renamed Premiere Elements 11's Online. Private Web Album is new and is Adobe Revel based. Details of the offerings of each of these categories will be presented in a later Part of this blog post.
 |
| Figure 6. Expert and Quick Publish+Share Major Export Categories. |
Expert and Quick Workspaces
Markers
It would appear that Expert workspace Markers include Menu Marker (main, scene, and stop), Beat Marker, and Timeline Markers (numbered and unnumbered); whereas, Quick workspace offers only Menu Marker (main, scene, and stop).
The big news is that max 99 menu markers allowable in the project in contrast to the 25 limit for version 11. Please refer to 9 in the INTRODUCTION. Also refer to the April, 2013 blog post "PE11: Menu Marker Limit Implementation Problem".
Expert and Quick Workspaces
Adjust
The Premiere Elements 12 Adjust choices under the Adjust button to the right edge of the interface are, for Expert, Smart Fix, Auto Smart Tone, Color, Color (RGB), Gamma Correct, Lighting, and Temperature and Tint. Quick Adjust offers the same choices, except no Color (RGB) and Gamma Correct.
Except for the new feature of Auto Smart Tone, nothing new here. Well, maybe not completely so. In Premiere Elements Quick Adjust, not Expert Adjust, there is now a "Entire Movie" tab at the top right of the Adjustments Palette. It appears to be a toggle for "Show/Hide Entire Movie Settings". It took a while to figure what this was supposed to be doing. See Tip for what is believed to be the function of the "Entire Movie" tab in Quick Adjust.
Tip: When one of the"Adjusts" is applied to a clip in Expert Adjust or Quick Adjust, there is a small green dot automatically placed on the header panel for Adjust applied. In the Quick Adjust only, the user can toggle the green dot on or off for the clip to which the adjust have been applied with this "Entire Movie" tab in order to, as it says, "Show/Hide Entire Movie Settings".
Expert and Quick Workspaces
Applied Effects
As in Premiere Elements 11 Expert or Quick, Motion Panel and Opacity Panel are the default panels under Applied Effects/Applied Effects Palette to the right edge of the interface. For Quick only there is that "Entire Movie" tab at the top right of the Applied Effects Palette. Here it functions to show or hide only the panels that are added during the course of the workflow.
Miscellaneous
The bottom row of the interface contains from left to right tabs for Undo, Redo, Organizer, Instant Movie, Tools, Transitions, Titles & Text, fx Effects, Audio, and Graphics. And, rendering of the Timeline content can be done by
- pressing Enter key of the computer main keyboard
- Render button above the Timeline
- Timeline/Render Work Area
PART 2 PROJECT PRESETS
Premiere 12 as does 11 automatically sets the project preset for the project based on the properties of the source media that first arrive on the Expert Timeline or Quick Filmstrip. Sometimes it does it OK, sometimes not. An April 2013 blog post here addressed that situation in version 11. The same situation appears to exist in version 12. Consequently, manual setting of the project preset via File Menu/New/New Project before importing media is highly recommended until the automatic set can be trusted for the particular video source being used.Like Premiere Elements 11, the Premiere Elements 12 major project preset categories are AVCHD, DSLR, DV, FLIP (for NTSC only), Hard Drive, Flash Memory Camcorders, HDV, and Mobile Devices. But there are some new project presets under the AVCHD category. For NTSC, they are QFHD 16x9 23.976, QFHD 16x9 29.97, and QFHD 59.94. For PAL, they are QFHD 16x9 25 and QFHD 16x9 50. These are choices for progressive video at the designated frame rates. Frame size is 3840 x 2160 pixels. Later on when version 12 exports are focused on, details for a 3840 x 2160 AVCHD export (XAVC-S). Also, see 5 in INTRODUCTION.
Refer to Figure 7 and Figure for the list of Premiere Elements 12 expanded choices. Read the description of each fully before you set your project preset manually.

PART 3 CONTENT
Content: Instant Movie, Titles & Text, Audio, Graphics, and Movie MenuWith the exception of a few items, Premiere Elements 12 Content continues to be available only from downloads from within the program. Refer to May 2013 blog post on this type of Content download which can be slow depending on Internet connection speed and status of Adobe server. Content with a blue ban at the top right of a theme thumbnail requires download for use. That blue ban is double clicked with the mouse cursor in order to get the pop up for Download Now or Download All. Please refer to Figure 9a and Figure 9b demo'd with Instant Movie theme Wedding Doves. But, what is shown in those Figures applies to all the Content whose thumbnail has that blue ban.

| Figure 9b. Online Content Download Dialog After Selecting Download Now Option From Pop Up Shown In Figure 9a. |
These downloads automatically complete already installed incomplete Content for
- Instant Movie
- Titles & Text
- Audio
- Graphics
- Movie Menu
Instant Movie. No change.
Premiere Elements 11 and 12 Instant Movie choices are the same. The major categories and number of themes per category are Slideshow (2), Event (12), Memories (3), Pets (2), and Style (22).
Also see Action Bar Menu for access to display of Instant Movie choices.
Slideshow/Pan and Zoom which comes complete with the install (no extra Content download required) is found in Windows 7 or 8 64 bit in the path
Local Disc C\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 12\Movie Themes\Slideshow\Pan and Zoom.All the rest of the Instant Movie themes are found in Windows 7 or 8 64 bit in the path
Local Disc C\Program Data\Adobe\Premiere Elements\12.0\Online\Movie Themes\All_Lang\ and then the folders for Slideshow, Events, Memories, Pets, Style. Each of the latter folders contain theme folders.
The choices for Instant Movie theme appear to be the same whether in the Expert or Quick based workspaces.
Titles & Text. No change.
Premiere Elements 11 and 12 Title & Text choices are the same. The major categories and number of themes per category are General (11), Entertainment (8), HD Templates (40), Slideshow (1), Happy Birthday (2), Holidays and Events (9), Kid's Corner (5), Memories (5), Movie Genre (8), New Baby (8), Pets (2), Seasons (5), Sports (6), Travel (7), and Wedding (3).
Also see Action Bar Menu for access to the display of Titles & Text choices.
General/Defaults, HD Templates/Pan and Zoom, and Slideshow/Pan and Zoom which come complete with the install (no extra Content download required) are found in Windows 7 or 8 64 bit in the path
Local Disc C\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 12\Presets\Templates\Common\ and the Common Folder contains folders for General, HD Templates, and Slideshow. The latter 3 folders contain respectively a Default, Pan and Zoom, and Pan and Zoom folder which houses the related theme's text files. Any graphics for these text files are found in Presets\Logos.All the rest of the Titles & Text themes are found in Windows 7 or 8 64 bit in the path
Local Disc C\Program Data\Adobe\Premiere Elements\12.0\Online\Title Templates\All_Lang\ and then the folders General, Entertainment, HD Templates, Happy Birthday, Holidays and Events, Kid's Corner, Memories, Movie Genre, New Baby, Pets, Seasons, Sports, Travel, and Wedding. Each of the latter folders contain theme folders which appear to contain, after Content download, both text and graphic files along with its other assets.The choices for Titles & Text theme appear to be the same whether in the Expert or Quick based workspaces.
Audio. Gains, Losses.
Premiere Elements 12's Audio Tab in the bottom row of tabs in the workspace is the former Music Tab of version 11. And, the content under the Audio tab is different than that found under 11's Music Tab. The prior version's Music Tab housed 10 thumbnails representing 10 SmartSound soundtracks, each with 30 seconds duration and ready to use plus the text "Use SmartSound" to click on to gain access to the "Sonicfire Pro 5 ET (SmartSound Express Track)" interface where those free and other free SmartSound soundtracks could be customized to fit the duration of the video without compromising the arrangement of the soundtrack. Although the concept of the SmartSound soundtrack remains in version 12 under the Audio Tab, no trace of the SmartSound name was to be found.
Now under Premiere Elements 12's Audio Tab are two major categories, Music Scores and Sound Effects.
 |
| Figure 10. Premiere Elements 12. Audio Tab/Music Score And Sound Effects. |
Music Score has 7 subcategories and a total of 51 free soundtracks, customizable according to the SmartSound concept. The Music Score subcategories and the number of soundtracks in them are Ambient (6), Atmospheric (8), Blues (2), Country (5), Rock-Pop (22), Urban (4), and Weddings (5).
Sound Effects has 13 subcategories and a total of 267 or 268 free sound effects. The Sound Effects subcategories and the number of sound effects in them are Ambience (49), Animals (10), Cartoon Effects (20), Crashes (10), Fire and Explosions (18), Foley (30), Impacts (20), Industry (10), Liquids (10), Science Fiction (30), Technology (29 or 30), Transportation (11), and Weather (20).
The same Music Score and Sound Effects offerings are available in the Expert and Quick workspaces. All these files appear to be .wav files on Windows and .aiff files on Mac.
Also see Action Bar Menu at top of workspace for access to the display of Audio choices.
The Music Score and Sound Effects folders and files can be found in Windows 7 or 8 64 bit in the path
Local Disc C\Program Data\Adobe\Premiere Elements\12.0\Online. The Online Folder includes a Music Score Folder and a Sound Effects Folder. The Music Score Folder contains an All_Lang Folder which contains folders for the subcategories. Each subcategory folder contains a theme folder which houses the theme's assets. The Sound Effect Folder has a similar sub-structure.Premiere Elements Audio Tab set up as well as "Sonicfire Pro 5 - ET/SmartSound Express Track/whatever it is called" through the versions will be gone into in more detail soon in the Premiere Elements 12 Daily Discoveries blog post. The names of those 267 or 268 Sound Effects are unbelievable. The "267 or 268" relates back to the finding that the program files showed 30 Sound Effects for the Technology subscategory; whereas, in the program, there were only 29 entries under Technology. The one missing in the program appears to be "Electron Camcorder Panasonic Dvx100 Placing Battery On Camera Fast".
Graphics. No Change.
Premiere Elements 11 and 12 Graphics choices are the same. As in 11, the version 12 choices are considerably less in the Quick than in the Expert workspace (15 vs 359). In the Expert workspace, major categories and number of themes per category are Animals Bird and Inserts (13), Animated Objects (18), Baby (21), HD Animations (12), Costumes (39), Thought and Speech Bubbles (24), Food (12), Holidays and Special Occasions (55), Home Items (31), Miscellaneous (67), Music (6), Nature (46), and Sports and Hobbies (15). The underlined major categories do not require Content download for use; they come with the program install.
The Quick workspace graphics are non categorized and are presented under the Graphics Tab in a batch of 15 themes from various Expert workspace major graphics categories.
Also see Action Bar Menu at top of workspace for access to the display of Graphics choices.
The graphics that come with the program install are found in the Windows 7 or 8 64 bit path

All the Expert Movie Menu choices are available in Quick. Movie Menu is accessed from the Action Bar Menu at the top of the workspace.
There are 14 major Movie Menu categories with a total of 73 menus. The Movie Menu categories and the number of themes in each category are Entertainment (6), General (10), Happy Birthday (3), Holiday and Events (9), Kid's Corner (5), Memories (5), Movie Genre (6), New Baby (5), Pets (2), Seasons (5), Slideshows (2), Sports (6), Travel (7), and Wedding (2).

Content: Transitions and fx Effects
Like Premiere Elements 11, Transitions and fx Effects all come as part of the Premiere Elements 12 install. No Content download.
Transitions. No change.
Premiere Elements 12 and 11 have the same Transitions, same points of access (Action Bar Menu and Transition Tab), and only a limited number of Expert workspace Transitions available in the Quick workspace.
Expert workspace Transitions has 16 categories and offers 107 Transitions. The 16 categories and the number of transitions in each category are 3D Motion (10), Dissolve (8), Iris (7), Map (2), NewBlue 3D Explosions (8), NewBlue 3D Transformation Elements (6), NewBlue Art Blends Elements (8), NewBlue Motion Blends Elements (7), Page Peel (5), Picture Wipes (3), Slide (12), Special Effects (3), Stretch (5), Wipe (17), Zoom (4), and Audio Transitions (2).
The Quick workspace Transitions are not categorized and are presented as a bunch of 16 of the 107 Transitions found in Expert.
Hard drive location for many of these Transitions appear to be in the Windows 7 or 8 64 bit path

Except for 4 new fx Effects under Film Looks, Premiere Elements 12 and 11 have the same fx Effects, same points of access (Action Bar Menu and fx Effects Tab), and only a limited number of Expert workspace fx Effects available in the Quick workspace. The 4 new Film Looks fx Effects are named Comic, Cross Process, Trinity, and Yesteryear.
Expert workspace fx Effects has 21 categories and offers 120 plus fx Effects. The 21 categories and the number of effects in each category are Advanced Adjustments (17), Blur & Sharpen (5), Channel (2), Color Correction (3), Distort (8), Generate (1), Image Control (4), Keying (15), NewBlue Art Effects Elements (9), NewBlue Cartoonr (1), NewBlue Film Look (1), Perspective (4), Pixelate (1), Render (2), Stylize (10), Time (2), Transform (8), Video Stablizer (1), Videomerge (1), Audio Effects (19), Presets (uncounted), and Film Looks (16).

PART 4 PUBLISH+SHARE
Premiere Elements 12 has 6 major sharing categories, one new named Private Web Album (Adobe Revel related) and 5 carryovers from version 11, Social Websites (called Online in version 11), Disc, webDVD, Computer, and Mobile Phones and Players. See Figure 6 in Part 1 Workspace Overview.
What follows is a look at these 6 major sharing categories and the options offered by each.
Private Web Album. Gain. NEW. Premiere Elements 12 Publish+Share/Private Web Album is described as an opportunity to upload the Timeline content to Adobe Revel and Mobile Album where the Timeline content in video format can be shared with friends and family. The Adobe ID and Password are used to gain access to the Adobe Revel Publish+Share feature. When the feature is used for the first time, a "downloading preset" pop up appears and disappears, but it is never shown just what the preset is. The Upload can be seen progressing through essentially 4 stages
- Rendering Media
- Uploading
- Transferring to Adobe Revel
- Success Notification as seen in Figure 7
Limited studies suggest that the preset used may be
1280 x 720 pixels @ 29.97 progressive frames per second
Video Compression = AVCHD, Audio Compression = AAC (Stereo), File Extension = .mp4.
The keywords for this feature include Mobile Album and associated email which contains invitation for friend or family to view the upload at Adobe Revel, using a link provided in the email.
Please see October 2013 blog post which goes into details related to Premiere Elements 12 Adobe Revel.
Social Websites. No change, except for naming from version 11's Online to Social Websites in version 12. The choices under Social Websites continue to be Facebook, Vimeo, and You-Tube. All is the same 12 versus 11, including no Advanced Button option to customize the presets and no "Share WorkArea Bar Only" option. The presets are the same whether the project settings are for NTSC or PAL project.

DISC. Gain.
Like version 11, version 12 has Publish+Share/Disc containing 3 sub-categories DVD, AVCHD, Blu-ray. The DVD and AVCHD sub-cateogories offer burn to disc as well as burn to folder (4.7 GB) and burn to folder (8.5 GB). And, Blu-ray is still a burn to disc only as before. But, the big news is 2 new NTSC burn to presets for progressive video under AVCHD (burn to folder or disc). They are H.264 1440 x 1080p NTSC Dolby and H.264 1920 x 1080p NTSC Dolby. No PAL counterparts. The big news is also that these 2 presets have frame rates of 23.976 progressive frames per second, not the 29.97 interlaced frames of the other presets.
The other big news in this area is raising the menu marker limit from 25 to 99 menu markers per project.
The choices under the DISC major category do not have an Advanced Button for customization of the presets nor does it have a Share WorkAreaBar Only option. The PAL and NTSC show the same choices in these major sub-categories.

WebDVD. No change.
There is one choice under Publish+Share/webDVD, that is Computer, described as "Save to folder on computer" and a flash file with menu. Selection of a Movie Menu is an absolute requirement for opening webDVD.
The presets differ, depending on whether NTSC or PAL project. For NTSC project, the presets are HD NTSC, SD High Quality NTSC, and SD Medium Quality NTSC. For PAL project, the presets are HD PAL, SD High Quality PAL, and SD Medium Quality PAL. All is the same 12 versus 11, including no Advanced Button option to customize the presets and no "Share WorkArea Bar Only" option.
This is sort of a "burn to folder" operation. A test run was set up with 3 jpg photos on Video 1, a mp3 audio on Audio 1 to match the photo duration, the Autumn Movie Menu 1 main menu page and 1 scene menu page, with a jpg photo insert in the main menu. After hitting the Build button in the webDVD export area, the sequence of steps that followed were Encoding Menu 1 of 2, Encoding Menu 2 of 2, Encoding Media Video Segment 1 o 3, Encoding Media Video Segment 2 of 3, Encoding Media Video Segment 3 of 3, Compiling Media, Burning to Folder, and Build Complete.
The assets that were found in the saved folder for this export are show in Figure 11.

In the Windows 7 64 bit computer in use, flashdvd.swf played with the Internet Explore and the Play_webDVD.html played back on Mozilla Firefox. Each of the 3 "clips" had its own .flv file. The thumbnail.png represented the jpg photo used as an insert in the main menu. Differences seen in the properties of the flashdvd.swf and Movie1.f4v, Movie2.f4v, and Movie3.f4v files will be cited in the Premiere Elements 12 Daily Discoveries blog post.
