    Using Adobe Premiere Elements Help

    Adobe Premiere Elements Help is available several ways. To access Help, choose Help > Adobe Premiere Elements Help (or press the F1 key on your keyboard). If your computer is connected to the Internet, Adobe Premiere Elements automatically launches Help on the web.

    Help on the web
    Help on the web is the most comprehensive and up-to-date version of Adobe Premiere Elements Help. Your computer must be connected to the Internet to access Help on the web. Use the Search field to search within Adobe Premiere Elements Help. Browse all topics in Adobe Premiere Elements Help.

    Help in the application
    Help in the application provides access to key tasks and concepts. If you aren’t connected to the Internet, Adobe Premiere Elements launches Help in the application.

    Help PDF
    Help is also available as a PDF that is optimized for printing. The Help PDF is the best way to access the most comprehensive Help when you don’t have an Internet connection.

    Links in the application
    Some Help links are within Adobe Premiere Elements. Clicking these links takes you to the corresponding topic in either Help on the web or Help in the application.

    Note: If you try to access a Help topic that only exists in Help on the web, Adobe Premiere Elements displays a message with a URL and a link to the complete Help on the Internet.

    Tips for searching Help

    • If you search using a phrase, such as “shape tool,” place quotation marks around the phrase. The search returns only those topics containing all the words in the phrase.

    • Make sure that the search terms are spelled correctly.

    • If a search term doesn’t yield results, try using a synonym, such as “web” instead of “Internet.”

    • If you find a topic you want to view again, bookmark it for easy access later.

    Print a Help topic
    To print a topic from Help, use the Print command in the browser.
