Adobe Premiere Elements Shortcuts

While Adobe Premiere Pro and Premiere Elements are very similar programs, there are several differences which would make our Pro Series and Advantage Series keyboards difficult to use. For customers using Premiere Elements, we recommend purchasing a DV Keyboard, ordering the Premiere Pro sticker set, and then installing only the stickers which correspond to Premiere Elements shortcuts.

This table lists all the Adobe Premiere Elements shortcuts which correspond to our Premiere Pro sticker set. Following this guide, you can appropriately label your DV Keyboard for Premiere Elements.

NOTE: Apply only the stickers listed in this table. You will also need to install the Premiere Elements Layout located below.

Adobe Premiere Elements

This is our special layout file that must be installed for Premiere Elements to work properly.

Once this has been downloaded and extracted, it must be copied to your Premiere Elements Settings folder. This can typically be found in the Documents and Settings directory on the hard drive where your Windows OS is installed. For example, "C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Adobe\Premiere Elements\3.0". There will be a folder named 'Layouts' within this folder. Do not place the file within the 'Layouts' folder. It must be copied directly into the '3.0' or '2.0' folder.
