Great Book for tinkering, June 20, 2008
By
Jerry's Dare (San Diego)
Bought this book for a class and thought it would be a waste but was actually a good book. Gives you a lot of the basics for editing videos with premiere pro. Good building book.
Premiere's best book, May 2, 2008
By
Alvaro Calandra (Montevideo, Uruguay)
This is a great book covering many aspects that those who by the Production Suite never get to see about Premiere because most video effects are done in After Effects and all DVD work is done in Encore.
Nevertheless if your going to take the Premiere ACE exam this is your book.

This is a good lesson, but requires some basic knowledge of computer video digital editing.
Great to Learn the program, November 28, 2007
By
B. Babb (Virginia Beach, VA United States)
I rarely use books to learn because I typically am unable to learn in this manner. I purchased this as well as several other of the Classroom In A Book series for Adobe products.
I had never used any previous version of Premiere and I was able to edit my own videos after completing a few lessons. I stopped following the lessons after lesson 7 but that was due to my own impatience to work on my own projects and not the book.
4-star rating instead of 5 is due to my constant complaint about a book meant to be put in front of a computer to learn from. It doesn't fold flat or stay open when trying to work the lessons making it difficult to work. This is simply a quality book that doesn't take into account using a fold open flat spine or spiral spine. I wish books like this that are made to teach while using a computer would stay open to the page without damaging the book (creasing spine, etc).
I like to take care of my books and I won't fold it back, etc to make it stay open. There are spiral options as well as a spine design that allows it to open flat. Either would make this a perfect book to learn from.
Doesn't work on Macs, August 18, 2007
By
R. Munroe (Nevada City,CA)
1 star because I was unable to open the files on a Mac. 0 stars for Amazon not mentioning anywhere on this page that the DVD rom won't work on a Mac. The book is probably as great as others have said. I've had other books from these folks and they were very good. The book I received clearly says "DVD included for Windows" in the lower left hand corner. Try clicking on the picture of this book and enlarging: The exclusion is not there. If you have a Mac look elsewhere, I'm sending mine back.
