If You're Serious About Learning Premiere Pro 2 This is the Book to Get

At this writing I'm about halfway through the book. I've run across one or two typos and one case where the title templates weren't available for a particular lesson (that's probably more of a problem with my version of Premiere than this book & DVD). I'm going through this book cover to cover rather than spending $900+ on UCLA Extension classes that I can't afford, especially when I don't know if I'll end up getting any work after investing that time and money. This is supposed to be the same book that they use for their classes. I know of someone who learned this software the same way and is working full time as an editor now. If you're serious about learning Premiere Pro 2 this is the book to get.

Excelent

Need nothing more than this book.It has exactly what I needed to know.Of course, I needed to work deep inside instructions, several times. However, I feel like a master on the subject. Even though, we all recognize We are all advancing on the subject ,and it changes constantly and fast

Well worth the time.

I was actually put off by the Adobe press books after going over their enclosed "manuals". But this book gets you into the program in a manner that is teaching and reasonably pleasant. If you can make yourself stick with the lesson format, following the described steps, you will learn the basics of this program. And for Premiere Pro, that is saying a lot. This will help that scary learning curve.

excellent book - it really is a classroom in a book

After editing a short film using an operator, I found that Adobe Premiere was a good and easy-to-use editing program. However, when I actually tried to do some editing on my own, I found out that things are not as easy as they seem. Not even the help in the program was of any help. And I couldn't find any comprehensive tutorials on line. Enter this Classroom in a Book. As easy as A, B, C, and I am using the program. The lessons are very well structured and thought out, allowing you to start doing things and seeing results right away. You can also go to specific sections if you already know most of the stuff. The accompanying DVD not only has the audio-visual materials necessary for the exercises, but they also have short introductory videos in which you can hear the voice of the instructor as you see the explanation of what you will be learning in the chapter. This really helps the idea and the sense of a classroom, by giving you that "human touch". The tips you can find in the text are also very useful and certainly beat the lackluster explanations you can find in the help menus in the program. So, this is an excellent option for those of you who have nor the time, nor the patience, nor the money, to try to get into a course. And this is the only way to learn how to use the program with ease and without frustration.

Great Way to Learn The New Version of Premiere Pro

I've Been a Premiere User since Version 6.0 and Absolutly LOVE New Version 2.0 I've Used Classroom in a Book for Previous Versions but because I am Planning on Going for Adobe Expert Certifiaction in 2.0 Well the New version of CIB is just as revamped as the new version of the software the book now includes teaching videos (led by the author) on the included DVD-ROM as well as all the material needed for the lessons the author presents the material in a clear and consise manner and now they even included ACE Exam Objectives for those studying for the test
