Element

From what i have read i think that adobe premiere elements is much better for our class. my reasoning behind this is that for one thing its much cheaper and a lot more user friendly then other software. Also it isn't missing any important editing tools that our class would use. In the end this product has a lot more to offer the class then its more expensive models.
