Adobe Premiere Elements Review & Giveaway For 2 Winners!!! #HolidayGiftGuide

Adobe Premiere Elements empowers your creative vision with video editing that’s so easy, it almost makes the movie for you. Use automated options, special effects, and in-app guidance to turn your video clips into entertaining movies that will wow family and friends. And now, take your Elements videos with you, wherever you go, on your smart phone or tablet. Do the same with your photos and make awesome slide shows, set to great music with your choice of transitions and effects!

I recently had the chance to upgrade from my older version of Adobe Premiere Elements to Premiere Elements 12. The newest version comes with great new features. I have only skimmed the surface and made one short video but I really like the updated version because there is so much more you can do like add new film looks, spotlight your subject with motion tracking and the auto smart tone feature allows the software to get to know your style.

One of the things I like best about Premiere Elements is that anyone from novice to expert can use this software to create great movies, it is so user-friendly. When you have made your move it is easy to share to Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo, and all the other leading online sharing services and social media sites.

The Guided Edits can help you learn and master editing techniques to make your videos pop. Have you ever wished you could create great looking videos but were intimidated because you thought it was way too difficult. Well, now it is like you have your own instructor with you, showing you just how to do things. Learn the ins and outs of editing your videos and soon people will be wishing they could create videos like yours.

Mommy Ramblings thinks Adobe Premiere Elements 12 makes a great gift for anyone that takes videos and wants user friendly software to organize, create and share their one of a kind movies with. We are adding Adobe Premiere Elements 12 to our 2013 Holiday Gift Guide!!! Open to US and Canadian residents.

Adobe is sponsoring a giveaway on Mommy Ramblings! Two lucky blog readers will win their own Adobe Premiere Elements 12! Thank you Adobe for the review software and for sponsoring this creative giveaway on Mommy Ramblings!!!

Blast Zone, Pirate Blaster Inflatable Water Park Review!!! Special Discount Code!!!

Summer is here and what could be more fun for kids than having their own water park? The Blast Zone Pirate Blaster Inflatable Water Park will keep kids cool, active and having a blast all summer! The water park is so easy to get set up right out of the box. We put a tarp down on our grass and laid the Blast Zone Pirate Blaster on top, connected the blower and turned it on, ran the hosing around the perimeter and secured it with the attached velcro, connected the garden hose, turned the water on and let the kids loose!!! They have played in this every nice day since we have had it and it is used from morning until night. It is high quality and comes with stakes, a carry bag and even a repair patch kit. If you are looking for something to keep the kids occupied and cool this summer, you need to check out the Pirate Blaster!!! Mommy Rambling’s Readers can save 10% on their orders with the discount code BOUNCEBLOG. This code is good when you purchase from BlastZone.com

Blast Zone provided us with a Pirate Blaster to review. All opinions are my own.

Animoto Review and Subscription Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

I was recently selected by Animoto to review their service. Animoto makes it so easy to create movie-style videos using your own photos, video and music or theirs. You can grab your images right from your Facebook Page, upload from your computer, or use their images. You can upload your MP3s or use their wide selection of music. It is so easy to navigate and I was able to put together a movie-style video of some of the products on our 2011 Holiday Gift Guide. All I had to do was pick the style, upload my images, add text, add music and then, click process my video. You can navigate away and you will get an email when your video is done. It only takes a few minutes. Then you can view it, edit, upload direct to YouTube, Facebook, Blogger, WordPress and other sites for sharing. I think I am totally addicted now and I want to do this for lots of family photos and themes. It is so fast and easy to get a really great looking video. I have so many ideas running through my head, a video on every child’s birthday with highlights of their year, Christmas video with highlights of our family throughout the year, our latest vacation, a great video on our wedding anniversary with our song, and so many more. I told you I am addicted to Animoto and it only took one time. What a great way to showcase your photos and make great keepsakes and memories.
