Like iMovie, Adobe Premiere Elements 2021 is a non–linear video editing app that’s designed to help video makers trim, fix and share their video footage as polished programs, complete with titles and transitions. However, compared to iMovie, Premiere Elements 2021 boasts a more sophisticated set of post–production tools, such as the ability to make selective adjustments to the colors and tones of a sky without changing the foreground exposure. iMovie only lets you apply one effect filter at a time; Premiere Elements 2021 enables you to apply multiple effects as nondestructive adjustment layers, giving you more freedom to experiment with a range of creative looks.
