Adobe Premiere Elements 2022 product is a home video editing software that offers you two types of workflow. You can choose the fully automated workflow or the manual workflow, and the manual workflow also includes automated features in most of the tools. In the main interface, you can click the tab that takes you to the automated workflow or the manual workflow, and you can switch between these tabs within the same project, so you're not locked into a specific workflow for a specific project.

Automated features include one-click features where the software does most of the work for you. There are also guided edits. These take you step by step through the creation of elaborate effects. At each step, you can make your choices, whether it's color or other parameters. Elements combines the simple with the sophisticated.

Although it's designed with a simplified workflow in mind for amateur editors, it still offers a very comprehensive collection of tools and features. There's virtually nothing you can't do in Elements, whether it's fancy effects, transitions, motion graphics, or otherwise. To help you get your project done faster, there are automated tools throughout that you can use when you need them.

There are also fully automated features for editors who just want to quickly put together a project; features like Instant Movie, where you can simply insert video/audio/image files and the software will spit out a cohesive movie that you can show to friends and family or share directly on social media. The same goes for the slideshow creator and other automatic features. A large collection of audio effects and tracks are available in the application for you to apply to all your projects.

Premiere Elements 2022 requires a 6th generation Intel processor or equivalent and 8GB RAM or more to ensure a smooth workflow.
