Premiere Elements ver 1 Benchmark Test
During October, 2005, some members of the Adobe Premiere Elements forum participated in a benchmark test to determine what configuration would give the best performance.
The test method was to use the un-altered version 1 Tutorial project and export it as a DV-AVI movie, then import that movie into a new project and add twelve copies of the clip to the Timeline.
The resultant movie was then timed during burn-to-folder and and burn-to-WMV using the DSL/Cable preset. The results are presented here for your observation. No-one with a Pentuim D system submitted results.
