Excellent Resource, By
This review is from: Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 Classroom in a Book (Paperback)
I must be missing something, I don't understand the low ratings on this book. I have several years' experience with Photoshop but am new to the video editing world. I have watched video training on Premiere CS4 to get familiar with non-linear editing and have already done some project work. But I wanted more detail in written form that I could go to as a repeat reference. This Classroom series for Premiere CS4 fills that need VERY well. The writers cover everything from setup of the software through to output with everything in between. I didn't find it too difficult as a beginner like others have mentioned. In fact, it is written in a very understandable style... often I'm reading through sections while not even at my PC and yet I can visualize what's being taught. I have notes and bookmarks all over the book, because it's also quite a good "How-To" reference guide, not just a bunch of lessons. It's obvious the author is passionate about video production because he/she even covers...

This review is from: Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 Classroom in a Book (Paperback)
Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 CIBI have used Premiere infrequently over the years since version 5 and it was time for a refresher and to become acquainted with the new features. The last Premiere CIB book I purchased was 5.0 (1998). The book touches on a wide range of key features in a concise manner. If greater depth is needed, the book refers the reader to additional resources. I felt that the range of topics covered and the depth of treatment was good. This book is targeted at beginning and intermediate Premiere users and is not intended to make anyone an expert. I completed almost all of the exercises and felt that the book fulfilled its mission and was well worth the cost and the time/effort. I recommend that when copying the DVD to your hard drive, you place it in the recommended location. I have a separate Books & Training folder on my D: drive and copied the DVD there. Every time I opened a project for the first time the "Where is... Read more

This review is from: Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 Classroom in a Book (Paperback)
I bought this book because it was required for an undergraduate class in videographic post-production. Although it is not the definitive source for learning Premiere Pro CS4 it will get you started on the right track. I already had some experience with this software, so I found a lot of this book to be less than what I expected. If you follow the lesson plans and carefully read the instructions for each lesson, you will be able to navigate through the powerful and convoluted software interface on an elementary level. Take note: some of the CD information that must be loaded on your hard drive to follow the lesson plans does not work properly, and more often than not you are required to find "lost" files that lose their pointers. This becomes an annoyance after a while.This being said, I will repeat: this book is not the definitive source for learning Premiere Pro CS4 even though it was written by Adobe experts as a guide for their software. You should research other... Read more |
