Adobe Premiere Pro For Dummies

It seems that this book about Adobe Premiere Pro is not only for "dummies", but it's also for those of us at the Mensa level as well. Being an advanced user of Premiere Pro, I thought there might not be anything new I could learn, but sure enough, I'm only at chapter 6, and I'm learning more new things about it than I new existed. I would highly reccomend this book, not only for "dummies", but also for geniuses as well, and everyone in between. They REALLY make things understandable. I'd have uploaded a video review as well, but I have to leave for work in a few minutes. :)

I like how the book is layed out. it starts with the basics then goes step by step in how to perform the actions to make your project work with tips and hints. The book is well written and easy to understand.

It was an enjoyable read, but as it was for an older version which I didn't notice when I purchased, it wasn't helpful to me. It was an easy read through the beginning and informative in some areas.

This book is obsolete. I had no idea when I bought it that it was published in 2004, sixteen years ago. Technology sixteen years ago isn't anything like it is today. I want to learn editing on Adobe Premiere Pro. I'm a certified FCP editor and familiar with editing programs. But this book was written for technology in 2004, talking about mini dvds that nobody even uses anymore. They should take these obsolete books out of their inventory. You could call the sale of these obsolete technology books a form of consumer fraud. I returned it.

Bought as a quick reference for Premiere. Have been using FCP for years and employer switched over to (CC) Premiere this past summer. So far it's just what I needed for working with Premiere.

The book is 20 years old! This is a software book that is so far out of date I’m losing my mind thinking about it.

Despite claims in the product description and by the author, this edition does not appear to be updated for CS3 or CS4. Additional examples that there has been no recent update: there's no mention of Youtube and HD is considered a recent and very minor technology. Despite the lack of current information, the book is still very useful for anyone starting out with Premiere Pro. As others have stated, the book is written with the beginner in mind and assumes that the reader has little knowledge of video or video editing.For those with more experience, I would recommend that you skip this book and consider one from the "Bible" series.

I got into a job that used Premiere Pro and I did not have much training so this book came in very handy. It was great reference guide that I still use even after I became more trained on Premiere.
