Editorial Review:

Adobe Premiere Elements offers amateur and home moviemakers the opportunity to work with editing tools as powerful as those packed into Adobe Premiere Pro, one of the top tools on the market. Adobe Premiere Elements For Dummies offers these same users not only a guide through all the how-to steps of using the software, but also a valuable reference on how to best apply the tools to a great video project.

Author Keith Underdahl, also author of Adobe Premiere Pro For Dummies, is an experienced video editor who understands what new Premiere users need to know and how to best explain the topics. In this book, Keith describes:

• Best practices for shooting quality video
• Picking the clips you want to keep and getting them into your computer
• How to use Premiere Elements’ editing tools to add an opening credits page, transitions between clips, sound, music, and ending credits.
• Adding special effects using only computer trickery
• Putting your finished project on a DVD, videotape, or the Internet

Covering more ground than the typical expanded users manuals you find in bookstores, Adobe Premiere Elements For Dummies is the book you need to get you through your first video-editing project as well as to return to whenever you hit rough spots and need instant help.

Editorial Review:

Hollywood Special Effects with Adobe Premiere Elements 3 is a book that will help users get to the next level in video editing, and that next level goes beyond simply splicing together clips and creating simple titles. In no time readers will be overlaying multiple tracks of videos and adjusting transparency; creating Picture-in-Picture overlays; using key frames and motion paths; setting and refining greenscreens and bluescreens; using color effects for emotional impact; and a whole range of other special effects to help them tell their story. What sets this book apart is the author's expertise in carefully showing readers how to execute each of these effects step-by-step in a clear and friendly writing style. With this book, budding filmmakers will be well on their way to becoming the next George Lucas! The accompanying DVD contains royalty free music, sound effects, and video clips from Artbeats, Digital Juice, TwistedTracks, and the Footage Firm (among others).

Great Introduction to a complex subject 5 out of 5 stars.
9 of 10 people found this review helpful.

Not sure why someone would think this is the manual. It is not the manual, it is a separate book with a DVD full of projects to work on and step by step exercises on things like Editing and Transistions, special effects and titles and how to make a DVD.

I found this book to be a great introduction to working with video on my computer- I chose Premiere Elements because it let me burn a DVD from the program. The chapter in the book is much better than anything in the manual as it tells you how to set up chapters and make a menu.

For someone who didin't know anything about video this book introduced me to the subject in a way that was easy to follow.

Editorial Review:

Just because you have a small budget doesn't mean you have small aspirations. Now that Adobe is offering under-$100 video editing software in the form of Premiere Elements, you want to take advantage of all of its features, so that the only thing limiting your filmmaking efforts is your own imagination. This self-paced guide from the folks behind the software represents the fastest, easiest, most comprehensive way to do just that! You'll learn how to capture and import video; add transitions, titles and effects; take advantage of Premiere Element's stunning templates; use the program with Photoshop Elements to edit and incorporate still images; output your finished video to DVD; and more. Each chapter contains a project that builds on your growing knowledge of the program as well as review questions that ensure the lessons stick. Best of all, the accompanying DVD includes all of the lesson and media files you'll need to complete the book's projects.

Surmountable editing lessons. 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I would not say these guides are for dummies, although even we might find that we actually get to learn something about these two programs that we invested in by following through these clear and well paced lessons in the main handles and ropes. I wish they would have been available for the latest versions, yet they are still the best guides I have looked at, and I borrowed a few from the library before I bought these.

More than just a beginner's book 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 9 people found this review helpful.

I read the other posts and I really agree with the reviewers who say this book is great for beginners. It walks you step by step through every feature and function, with cool full-color illustrations. It takes the fear out of a fairly intimidating program. I learned an amazing amount about the program in less than an hour. The book shows you all of the special effects for audio and video, as well as all of the transitions in a way that's easy to understand. It also shows you how to use all of the panels, which initially I found really confusing. The book is the perfect primer to help you get started with this software. Adobe should hire Plumer to write their books. It actually makes using the software seem fun!
