This easy to follow book on creating video for the web was clear, organized and a great aid in understanding the subject of web video: from shooting the footage to getting it online, and addresses all he downloadable and streaming formats.

Although the title seems to target mainly users of Adobe Premiere, as a Final Cut Pro user I found it full of practical advice and step by step instruction that I easily converted for my own used with Final Cut Pro.

If you are a novice in the field of web video, and need straight-forward instruction and explaination -- if you are interested in understanding how to approach and implement your video projects and deliver them to an audience of online viewers, this is a necessary manual to have on hand. It will provide you the tools to get the job done, and inspire you in directions that you may have thought beyond the scope of your personal learning curve.

Kudos to Thomas Luehrsen and Creating Web Video!. I'll be looking for and hopefully finding other titles by this author in the future.

I have taken classes from Mr Luehrsen so I was confident that his
book would be just as great as his "in person" teaching. I wasn't disappointed. It's well organized, the information is detailed, easy to understand and implement. I'm happy to have made the purchase.

Well organized and very clearly written. Mr. Luehren covers all the bases and strikes a great balance between necessary detail and unnecessary geek-speak. The book is engaging without being overly cute, like so many how to books can be. I would highly recommend this book for beginners and experienced users alike.

Wow! I feel like Steven Spielberg...
This book encompasses everything you would ever need to know to make the best web based home movies on the family web-site, or even learn to produce professional level independent web based film. Its several books in one! Its an "Adobe Premiere for Dummies" and it also covers advanced technical and cinemagraphic techniques specifically for web presentations. You will see a tremendous improvement in your video work if you study under Luehrsen with this tool. You will actually start using all those extra buttons on your camera, really!!

If you know nothing about Adobe Premiere then this is not the book for you. The lessons are hard to follow and sometimes very confusing if you are not already familiar with Premiere. It's practically impossible to go through the tutorial from start to finish without getting totally lost. The book does have some useful information regarding compression and embedding so I gave it 2 stars instead of none. I know a lot of people liked this book and that is why I bought it, but I just don't think it is for a beginner. I started out not knowing anything about Premiere and video editing and I still know nothing.
