Barriers of the Editing Software

Despite this software providing us with many features that allowed us to edit and create our trailer - there were barriers that we had to overcome throughout the process - and this was mainly having to render the clips nearly every time we made a slight change.
Rendering processes the layers and effects and saves the preview into a file, which Adobe Premiere Elements can use each time you preview that section of the movie. Once rendered, a section doesn't require re-rendering unless changes are made to it.
This was a barrier during the editing process as it was extremely time consuming and was a set back every time a slight change was made. It was often that this made the software freeze or crash; which understandably is expected with the amount of clips that the software had to deal with... however this was a struggle for us to deal with. 

More complex movies require more processing time to display properly. With our trailer having multiple different clips and also adding sound, titles and transitions, etc, it was clear that this was going to become an issue for us however, the software has still allowed to create an effectively edited trailer. We ensured that everything we done was saved after each change in-case the site did go wrong. Also to save time, we rendered the clips more often so each time was shorter, rather than doing it all together at the end where it might be more difficult as there would be more to process.
