4.0 out of 5 stars
Quick and Easy DV Editing for DVD, DV- or VHS-tape output
Author Anthony Bolante not only knows his subject well -- he is a video post-production professional, "a contributor to the Premiere Pro User Guide and Help system, as well as to the Adobe Certified Expert exam." - but he is also a professional technical writer who explains the terminology clearly and concisely. This book is well organized : it starts by...

Too much technical and too little How to
If you know all the techie stuff, you will probably enjoy this book. But, if you are starting out Antony can leave you shaking your head. For example, I needed to know about Key framing. I read his section where he discusses Interpolation, Auto Bezier, Continuous Bezier followed by Spatial Interpolation and Temporal Interpolation methods. He sure knows his...

This review is from: Premiere Elements 2 for Windows (Paperback)
If you know all the techie stuff, you will probably enjoy this book. But, if you are starting out Antony can leave you shaking your head.For example, I needed to know about Key framing. I read his section where he discusses Interpolation, Auto Bezier, Continuous Bezier followed by Spatial Interpolation and Temporal Interpolation methods. He sure knows his stuff -- but after reading it carefully, my head is hurting and I still have no idea how to do some simple animation in my movie. I understand that Premiere Elements 2 In a Snap is probably more suitable for me -- and for you if you have trouble with books that focus on concept over How To.

Quick and Easy DV Editing for DVD, DV- or VHS-tape output,
By Kiwi (Atsugi-city, JAPAN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Premiere Elements 2 for Windows (Paperback)
Author Anthony Bolante not only knows his subject well -- he is a video post-production professional, "a contributor to the Premiere Pro User Guide and Help system, as well as to the Adobe Certified Expert exam." - but he is also a professional technical writer who explains the terminology clearly and concisely.This book is well organized : it starts by comparing Premiere Elements with Premiere Pro., describes system requirements, the program's user interface ("Workspace" etc.), and its video "Project" base; ways to capture video (including digitizing analog video and VHS tapes); how to remotely control a DV camera from the computer; how to add stills and manage video clips; how to edit, using the timeline, and add transitions between clips; how real-time preview works; how to add titles and special effects; and how to export to DVD or to DV or VHS tape. I would have liked to have seen coverage of the extra functionality available if you buy the Photoshop Elements/Premiere Elements bundle - subjects like color correction, panning and zooming of stills, and slide shows. I would also like to have seen expanded coverage of the different options when creating video for the web (the menu options for exporting to QuickTime or Windows Media are not covered). However, compared with other books on Premiere Elements 2, this book seems to be good value for money. It is a quick and easy introduction to the art of editing DV for output to DVD or to DV / VHS tape. |
