4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice for novice user and reference, not advanced, December 6, 2001

This review is from: Adobe® Premiere® 6.0: Classroom in a Book (Paperback)

Adobe premiere is an awesome product that is extremely diverse. The Classroom in a book will help you find your way through most of the main features and get familiar with them. I found it extremely helpful and was very happy with all the examples that are worked out nicely. For reference you will have a great guide in this book too. If you want to get into the nitty gritty and potentially advanced features you will not find all your answers and need to do your research elsewhere. Still the book is well worth its money and will get you off to a flying start!

3.0 out of 5 stars Same as version 5, September 28, 2001

This review is from: Adobe® Premiere® 6.0: Classroom in a Book (Paperback)

I bought version 5 of Premiere CIB a couple years ago. I upgraded to Premeiere 6 in January, and I've been waiting months for version 6 of CIB to come out. Well, if you've got CIB 5, save yourself some money--everything is the same in the new version. Why they had to delay publication to come up with this is a mystery. Virtually all the lessons and source footage are exactly the same--except where some changes in the program menus require some different keystrokes.

If you haven't used the earlier version, this book would be worth 4, maybe even 5 stars. If you have version 5, this 'upgrade' rates a 1. I'll even it out for both types of users and give it a 3.

3.0 out of 5 stars Same As Premiere 5.0 Classroom in a Book, February 7, 2002

This review is from: Adobe® Premiere® 6.0: Classroom in a Book (Paperback)

The Classroom in a Book series is great. It's a perfect starting point for beginners and is a great stepping stone to other books that teach you advanced things, a.k.a. layered basics that you didn't think of yourself.

I read Premiere 5.0 Classroom in a Book cover to cover and it is the exact same as this "updated edition." Everything except for adding audio/video effects, which just changed from a drop-down menu to drag-and-drop. I believe the book is well-versed and it taught me everything I need to know to use Adobe Premiere.
