Product Description
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.
From the Back Cover
Once, only professionals with expensive tools could create digital videos. Now, with Adobe Premiere Elements and this book, you can create movies without a huge budget or a film school degree.

Discover How To:
- Shoot video like a pro director
- Get clips from your camera to your PC

Well done Adobe for bringing out such an excellent program and well done to the author Keith Underdahl for this easy to follow and fun to use book.
I gave up on Pinnacle Studio a while ago due to it constantly crashing and thus was excited about Premiere Elements and have now followed the chapters through and can say my editing skills have advanced considerably.
This is my second "Dummies" book,the first was Macromedia Dreamweaver MX for Dummies,on the strength of that book I bought Premiere Elements,need I say more ?

Format:Paperback
This book is well worth a look and your money, it explains everything in detail with simple to follow instructions.
It covers every part of Premiere elements from importing your footage to exporting it onto DVD and other formats.
It gives you ideas on what requirements and equipment you should/could use to improve your films, and also a small part on shooting the film itself.
It explains about transitions, all the different effects, how to find commands and editing windows, about the timelines, sound, editing in general and everything you could possibly think of and more.
I highly recommend this book, and will be buying more from the series.
It's the only book on adobe premeire elements you will ever need!!

This is a very well written, but it is not written for Premiere Elements 7. If you have an older version enjoy it, but I bought it becasue Amazon bundled it with my order for 7, and it is out of date. Amazon hopefully will sort this, but 'Caveat Emptor'!
