A few here and there throughout the book but mostly readable until you get near the end where there is no text at all. . What a ripoff. All of the appendix is missing. the whole book was there.I bought from Amazon and half the text is missing. There are little boxes where the letters should be.
Easy to understand and lots of information. I was looking for a book that would help me understand how to work Premiere Elements, and this book worked well.
Like I said, some stuff is advanced and it takes awhile to understand and some stuff I have yet to understand. I'm just wondering if I should get a more basic one that holds my hand as well. Not sure about that yet. This is a pretty good book. I figured if I get a step by step book, that this book will become much more clear. It's advanced, yet an easy read. A good reference book I'd say. I learned alot and it has been helpful.
If the other authors can copy his style on using iTunes, MS Office, etc, we would save a few more trees as the book won't be as thick. It was kinda hard considering my programming background with fat books. When it came to picking a video editing book, I was stumped. I have read many computer programming books and I have learned to know that there are a number of writing and teaching styles from various publishers and authors. The rest is up to your creativity and your knowledge.YES. It made me wonder if it really is a good book.
I am looking at a skinny book on video editing. It shows you where everything is (well not the advance stuff but most commonly used stuff) so you know where to go. I am not a fan of fat books that are over 1000 pages long. As a programmer, I understand the reason behind it. Does Steve show you what you need to know. When I first launched Adobe Premiere Elements 7, I was totally lost and I didn't know where to begin. What this book does is tells you where to look for things and how to use it. That little book is all you need to get comfortable with Premiere Elements.Steve's writing style is so good that I won't hesitate to buy more of his books in the future.
This is what this book is about, it shows you the ropes and how to get comfortable with Premiere Elements. Mmmmm.So I read it in a week. I know programming and video editing is like apples and oranges. The way he teaches you to use Premiere Elements is one of the best I have read for any book.
I just wanted to say that I am computer programmer for 10 years until I got laid off. What this book will not teach is the elements or features of the application, it is up to you to explore them. It does show you where they are so you can explore on your own. The choice was few. (Kinda weird coming from a guy who is a computer programmer where those application developing software is exactly the same thing).
It shows you everything you need to know about using Adobe Premiere Elements 7. I do know how to pick my computer programming books. So don't be afraid to explore what Premiere Elements has to offer you once you are done reading this book. If you are looking for that boring type book, look somewhere else. By the time, I was done reading the book, I was already making video clips and making fun movies. But the concept is the same. For example, the book will show you how to add text to the video but it up to you to learn how to make it animated or change colors. His name is on my list of good authors who write great books.
Let alone anything for version 7. That was a great book. That is what I mean about showing the ropes. There were a few video editing books out there. Remember when you first had your hand on the computer mouse and you didn't know where to click first. The point is that it does not hold your hand giving you step by step to make a movie from capturing a device to burning a DVD. When I saw that Steve's book was less than 200 pages and the reviews were great, I was a little taken back by it. Boy.
Easy to read and easy to understand.I personally feel that I owe a lot to Mr.Steve Grisetti.(I would not improve myself without reading this book).Thanks a lot. I bought it for learning my Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0.Every subject is treated very wisely.
