Editorial Review:

Tight deadlines and tighter budgets define digital video production today--a fact Adobe has acknowledged and responded to with its completely revamped Windows XP-only Premiere Pro video editing software. By focusing on a single (non-Mac) version of Premiere, Adobe has been able to deliver a product that raises the bar for desktop digital video editing; this approachable, complete volume gets readers beyond the basics. Offering in-depth explanations guaranteed to make the knowledge stick (and in an easygoing style that makes the book fun to read), filmmaker and Premiere whiz Jacob Rosenberg focuses on the concepts, features, and techniques that are key to mastering Adobe Premiere Pro. If you're a novice user, you'll get the grounding you need to begin capturing, editing, and outputting digital video. And if you're a Premiere veteran, you can go straight to the comprehensive coverage of all that's new: three-point color correction, multiple timelines, a new audio mixer, enhanced media management, and more. The accompanying DVD includes project files, sample footage, and video tutorials.

Good Book for Beginners 4 out of 5 stars.
10 of 10 people found this review helpful.

This book is what "Home Recording for Dummies" should be. It gives a very good overview of the components of a modern amateur recording studio. I would recommend it over anything in the "Idiot's" or "Dummies" series by far. Excellent color pictures and diagrams, well layed-out information, equipment and software recommendations, recording techniques, and price guides are all excellent reasons to buy this book.

The only reason I gave it 4/5 was because the book has a little difficulty tying all the pieces of a home studio together into one package. While the book gave excellent descriptions of the components of a home studio, it didn't tie them together extremely well.

The book deals almost exclusively with computer-based recording, with slight mention to tape-based recording. It's unbiased between Mac and PC, but the software recommendations are dated to 2004/2005. However, most everything else in this book should be good information to have for years to come.

Editorial Review:

A comprehensive and accessible guide to making music on a home computer, this book is perfect for beginners, a godsend for musicians trying to keep up with technology, and an inspiration to anyone thinking of the best way to make music more easily. The handbook covers all the software and hardware needed to create any type of music on a computer. Plus, professional tips and jargon troubleshooters are provided throughout the text to help individuals through the technology minefield and provide expert information in a digestible form. With the solid advice and information found in this book, individuals will be able to make music using the same methods as professional musicians.

Knowing you won't want to waste a second getting up to speed on it, video pro Lisa Brenneis has completely updated her best-selling guide on the topic.

In the process, you'll learn about all of the program's most important features, including those new to HD: real-time color correction, the ability to toggle between full-resolution, high-quality playback or preview mode, and more!

Includes a good CD demo 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

I have two other iMovie2 books, but I put out the money for this one because not only does it contains quite a few other techniques not found in other books, but because the attached CD comes only with sample movie clips of camera and editing techniques discussed in the book. It also includes among other things shareware and demo software like Adobe After Effects, sound effect utilities, graphic converter, MoviEffects to use with QT movies.

I wouldn't say this is the best iMovie2 book, but the author does a good job outlining, laying out, and explaining editing procedures and techniques. It's not that iMovie2 is a difficult program to learn or use, but it's just that books like these provide insightful strategies that enable you to get more out of the program. I certaintly recommend this book for first time and intermediate users of iMovie2.

Editorial Review:

For the first time, making and editing your own movies is as easy as plugging in your camera, turning on your iMac and double-clicking the iMovie icon. What the iMac did for Internet access iMovie will do for video editing. iMovie for Dummies not only shows you the ins and outs of using iMovie, it also shows you the techniques and tricks to making professional-looking video. Storyboards, effects, titles, sound, music, manipulating tracks -- these authors cover it all in an engaging and entertaining fashion that will make learning to make movies as much fun as watching them!

All You Need to Know 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

In a recent book on the Beach Boys, there is a photograph of Brian Wilson with his most important musical instrument, the multi-track tape recorder. Today's bands don't need one of those. A reasonably high powered Apple and Nuendo software will do more than was possible with rooms full of equipment back in 1966 when Brian's photo was taken.

This book, one of the very few about Nuendo, is aimed at the Beginner to Intermediate level Nuendo user. It a good place to start, or to use as a reference book for the more advanced user. At about 500 pages, it is long enough to include everything you need to get full use out of the software, yet it is not so long and ponderous like many of the thousand page plus software books.

Editorial Review:

Are you ready to harness the power of Nuendo to record, edit, mix, and publish your audio productions? If your answer is "Yes!," then "Nuendo® Power!" is here to help.

You’ll also learn important troubleshooting techniques. "Nuendo Power!" comes with a FREE limited edition Cool School Interactus training CD-ROM. This interactive CD-ROM includes 60 minutes of movie tutorials covering key concepts and new features in Nuendo, including Editing Overview, Audio Pool, Overlap Recording, Sample Editing, Mixer Automation, and Real-Time Plug-Ins. Take your music to the next level with the powerful tools of Nuendo!
