Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
If you've set out to master Premiere 5 and don't know where to begin, get the thorough, well-illustrated Adobe Premiere 5 Classroom in a Book. It guides you through everything from basic interfaces to the process of assembling complex movies, and features step-by-step instruction and project files on an included CD-ROM. Each chapter also includes review questions and answers as well as an "exploring on your own" section.

First you get a tour of the Premiere interface. You start a project, add clips and audio, and edit and export the video. You also explore concepts central to digital video editing, such as frame size, resolution, video data compression, video capture, transparency, superimposing, audio, and output. Next, you learn basic editing techniques such as importing clips, working with the Timeline and the Source view, previewing and fine-tuning your work, and applying transitions. You go on to use audio clips, learn about three-point and four-point editing, work with clip linking, and use the Extract, Lift, Paste Custom, Slip, and Trim functions. Later lessons teach you how to create titles, superimpose clips, add motion, apply audio and video filters, and create subclips and virtual clips. --Kathleen Caster --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description

4.0 out of 5 stars Put me at ease, 23 Aug 2000
This review is from: Adobe Premiere: Version 5 (Classroom in a Book) (Paperback)
This book is truly worth the money. The lessons get you started and happy with using the program, and willing to experiment for yourself which is where you really start to learn. My one criticism is I would have liked more information on PRINTING to video and capturing video, and more details on the process of digital editing. (such as codecs and resolution)

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for beginners!, 3 Dec 1998
By A Customer
While I agree that this book is not a "must have" for experienced Adobe Photoshop users, it should certainly be required reading (and using) for both beginners and those moving to Photoshop from another program. This work also does a fine job of covering the differences between versions 4.0 and 5.0.

This book, by the way, will not prepare you BY ITSELF for the Adobe Certified Expert examinations. It takes hundreds or thousands of hours of practical work with the full range of Photoshop's capabilities before you should attempt the exam.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the best training aid on the market, 5 Dec 2000
By A Customer
Simply the best on the market for teaching PhotoShop. The CD ROM has exercise files that accompany each chapter which gives you a clear example of what your learning. This means you learn on a 'monkey see, monkey do' basis and the training is computer, not armchair based. I've also used these CIB books in a computer training setting and find people take an average of 15 - 30 hours to get through them depending on prior computer experience. The CIBs are much better than the how-to books that only use description but then leave it up to you to dream up a project to try the technique out on. The CIBs do cram a lot in, and to a complete novice some of the instructions may not seem to have any special relevance. But it is up to you to find uses for the techniques taught. But the CIB is telling you what can be done. Not cheap but worth it in my opinion. Much cheaper than nightschool anyway. (Which I've tried and found only covered a fraction of what's here.)

If you have an interest in learning more about Photoshop I also recommend the Certification Guide which supplies an 'Advanced' class and makes some of the more complex PhotoShop features a lot more understandable. Again its practically based.(I'm less convinced that the certification guide is ideal prep.for the exam however! As always real world briefs and project experience is the best way to get fluent with PhotoShop once you've learnt it's features.) But I still use these books as reference. (You can't carry everything in your head.) The only thing that would improve these two guides would be a demo version of PhotoShop on the CD for all those youngsters who aspire to break in graphic design, but can't aford the software outlay at this stage of their careers.

After that I suggest you go onto one of the many PhotoShop 'cook-books' that are around. I found the WOW one to be one of the best. The big 'Bible' approach produces a pretty theoretical reference book that seems aimed at Tech. Support or the dedicated Photoshop only professional. Does anyone read these from cover to cover? I don't particularly recommend The Adobe PhotoShop Productivity guide. (A CD ROM but not the exercise material for all the chapters, frustrating! And hit and miss with the projects, just ask yourself how many of these 'projects' you actually do in a year.) whilst the Advanced Photshop/Illustrator CIB isn't one thing or another. (Good though it is.) The Photoshop stuff could easily be put into the Certification guide and the Illustrator stuff into the Illustrtor CIB. There is no Illustrator Certification Guide (WHY?) which makes me suspect that Adobe are milking PhotoShop's popularity with these last two titles.

1.0 out of 5 stars Well the book has nice thick paper
There is a lot of SPACE in this book. And not too many TECHNIQUES. It's not a bad book. But it is really really overpriced and overrated.

I don't recommend this book. There are plenty others out there that are either more comprehensive, or in-depth. Or less expensive.

It tells you how to do different techniques like applying a gradient, using guides and rulers, and introduces Adobe ImageReady version 1. I have no complaints about this book.
