This review is from: The Muvipix.com Guide to Adobe Premiere Elements 8: (Color version) The tools, and how to use them, to make movies on your personal computer (Paperback)
This book is an excellent guide to Premiere Elements. It maintains an effective balance between being basic enough for a newcomer to understand, and sufficiently advanced to give the accomplished user some insights and pointers that will more than adequately compensate them for the purchase price of the book.
Highly recommended

I bought the software bundle recently and find this book very clearly shows you the basics and the tips for the more advanced user. I had never used the Elements version of this Adobe software, but find this an easy to follow, clear and concise explanation of the layout, functions, and uses of all features. It shows you various ways to access features you would never find on your own. It also includes tips and recommendations from a person who has used the software and recognizes its quirks, faults and secrets. The index has great recommendations for computer specs and optimizing your computer to run this software. It also suggests other software to help maximize your use of Elements 8 and even suggests some workarounds for improving your experience. This book is a must for the beginner and the advanced user. Another great resource from the folks at Muvipix. I would rate it six stars if possible.

I installed and worked with this program for over two months before I purchased this book. I struggled with certain aspects of the program which were counter intuitive or down right broken. This book points out the problem areas in plain english and offers alternative solutions. It is written with the user in mind unlike most of the manuals we see today. I found myself using the highlighter right away and could not put it down. This is a great program for the hobbiest who just want to take the old VHS tapes and convert them to something meaningful but you have to know how to navigate or you will just throw your hands up and walk away. If you are a serious or even middle of the road user of this program this book is a must. You will get ten times the value back to you in reducing your wasted time trying to figure out how things work. Great job!
