So when I purchased Elements for OS-X I was expecting the same kind of performance. I'm a photo enthusiast and was using Elements on the PC with great success. In no way does vertical video ever look great because it always cuts off two-thirds of the actual scene, but at least it gets rid of the hideous black bars.Towards the end of last year, I switched from PC to Mac with the purchase of a rMBP. So it's good that Adobe has decided to join the ranks of consumer-editing packages to accommodate vertical video.

This is hardly a revolutionary update, as many video apps include this feature. A new Guided Edit shows you how to create a widescreen version of those vertical smartphone movies, using the colors from the existing video and adding a blur effect. Vertical videoĮven as people learn more about how to shoot smartphone video, there is a steady cohort of users who insist on recording vertical video. It definitely works well: video shot at a nighttime street fair was a lot more pleasing to look at than the original. Just drop the effect directly on the timeline to apply the filter you can choose from three levels of intensity. Reduce Noise, like all of Adobe's special effects, is a cinch to use. The new Reduce Noise Effect is designed to mitigate this pesky byproduct of low light. Shooting video at night is a challenge, and much of it turns out grainy, noisy with colored artifacts and often unwatchable. A simple drag and drop effect with three variations vastly improves the quality of movies shot at night or in low light.
