More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
As a video pro, you already know what Adobe has finally figured out-that these days digital video innovation stops for no one! Which is precisely why Adobe cut loose its Mac users and focused instead on a single platform in order to deliver a product-the Windows XP-only Premiere Pro ($699)-that takes advantage of all of today's hardware and media-layer advances. The result is a virtually render-free editing experience you won't want to waste any time getting up to speed on. Enter this task-based guide! Adopting the step-by-step, visual approach that's become the hallmark of Peachpit's popular Visual QuickPro series, this volume will have you editing full-length videos, complete with titles, transitions, and special effects, in record time. In the process you'll learn about all that's new in Premiere: three-point color correction, multiple timelines, a new audio mixer, and more. The concepts may be complex, but the instruction is crystal-clear: direct, concise language complemented by time-saving tips and plenty of visual aids.

Antony Bolante is a Bay Area video editor and designer who has taught video editing to graduate and undergraduate students using Avid Media Composer, Media 100, and Premiere.

I'm sure it was a good book, but was too lazy to read it and unfortunately it now has a thick layer of dust covering it...

illustrated alternative manual
26 Feb 2004
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book covers essentially the same material as one finds in the manual provided by Adobe with the program. The difference is mostly in that the Visual QuickPro guide is much better illustrated, i.e., practically each step is not only explained verbally but also shown in a picture. This makes it easy to use, and you can even read this book without sitting in front of a computer screen. Unfortunately, this book does not offer much in addition to Adobe manual and online help besides the nice illustrations. In many cases, the issues which are poorly explained in Adobe manual are equally poorly explained in this book. In those instances where Visual QuickPro guide goes beyond the Adobe manual, the explanations, albeit helpful, are mostly more detailed and better illustrated, but they do not necessarily go much more in-depth than what you would find in Adobe manual in more concise form. If you did not understand something from Adobe manual, QuickPro guide will most likely be of little help either. Additionally, the QuickPro guide is only about the menus, controls, and functions of Premiere Pro. You will not find there any practical wisdom how to make great movies, or choose tasteful combination of effects and transitions, or create cool video effects. This is an alternative manual, nothing more, nothing less. The bottom line is: if you have an Adobe manual, this book will not add much to it. If you don't have an original manual but want to learn how to use Premeiere pro, it will work as an excellent and reasonably priced substitute and I can highly recommended it to those who have the program but not the manual. The reason why I ranked it four stars is that although it is a great substitute for a manual, it can hardly be called a valuable addition to it.
