Learn to extract photos and moments from the video clips in Premiere Elements using the Candid Moments feature.

If you have a video captured for an event, you have all the memories (in the form of photos and videos) in that video clip. Candid Moments automatically extracts candid photos from your raw video clip. It uses content intelligence to automatically identify and extract good quality, in-focus photo moments. You can also manually add or remove candid photo moments. Once you have extracted all the candid photo moments, save them to your computer, export them to the timeline, or create a slideshow. You can use it for one or more clips from any event, be it a birthday party, school game, dance performance, or skiing trip.

Auto-extract candid moments

  1. Select Add Media to import one or more raw video clips you want to work with in the Quick or Advanced view.

  2. Select Candid Moments from the Tools panel.
