Customer Reviews

Just what I needed

Exelent product, whith all the topics to learn from the begining to the end how to use the software.

Excellent, but only partly useful to me

It is an excellent course and one can easily learn Premiere Pro with this book. But unfortunately the author uses clips with the file type "mov" and my version of Premiere Pro(for an unknown reason to me)is not capable to import this type of clips from the CD to the program. Therefore from session 3 onward I cannot use the examples and lessons in the book.

Best I tried

I purchased both Adobe's Classroom in a Book and this one. By far, this is the best book for someone getting started with what is a high learning curve piece of software. Based solely on this book, I was able to produce a 28 minutes promotional video for a group trip to Portugal. Once having finished this book, it would then be worthwhile to go ahead an work with Adobe's Classroom in a Book. I certain do not recommend the CIB as the place to start. Working through this book was a pleasure. I say that as a retired teacher who during my career authored three marketing textbooks. If you are getting started with Premiere Pro--this is the place to start.

An Excellent Tool

I found this book to be better than any others that I have tried. The technique of providing step-by-step, numbered instructions and showing the relevent screen-shots (also numbered) so that you can see on the page what you should see on your screen is very much like having a one-on-one tutor. For anyone just learning the product, this book is a good as it gets.
