Product Description:Adobe Premiere Elements offers amateur and home moviemakers the opportunity to work with editing tools as powerful as those packed into Adobe Premiere Pro, one of the top tools on the market.
Adobe Premiere Elements For Dummies offers these same users not only a guide through all the how-to steps of using the software, but also a valuable reference on how to best apply the tools to a great video project.
Author Keith Underdahl, also author of Adobe Premiere Pro For Dummies, is an experienced video editor who understands what new Premiere users need to know and how to best explain the topics. In this book, Keith describes:
- Best practices for shooting quality video
- Picking the clips you want to keep and getting them into your computer
- How to use Premiere Elements’ editing tools to add an opening credits page, transitions between clips, sound, music, and ending credits.
- Adding special effects using only computer trickery
- Putting your finished project on a DVD, videotape, or the Internet
Covering more ground than the typical expanded users manuals you find in bookstores, Adobe Premiere Elements For Dummies is the book you need to get you through your first video-editing project as well as to return to whenever you hit rough spots and need instant help.

Adobe Premier Elements for Dummies, September 29, 2008

Book used as an owner's manual before starting program. Once the program has been tried, the book serves as a reference guide, even though it repeats the wording of the help references. Tips are beneficial.

Alan R. KamudaThe original order was lost in shipment. It took a long time to resend the book. Longer than necessary. I had a five day shipment and had to wait another five days to have the shipment considered lost then had to wait another fives days because of a holiday. That was entirely too long of a wait. With the upcoming holiday the company could have cut the waiting time to four days and got the book to me a lot earlier.

I like APE for preliminary formatting but I never ordered or received this item. However, having used and recommended other "... for Dummies" it would probably be a good learning resource.
