This book is an excellent source for mastering Adobe premier pro CS6. The book is written in a way that beginners will understand and will be able to follow. It has lots of examples and pictures to guide you through. The links to the files are accessible and helpful...allowing the novice to learn without having to spend a huge amount of time videoing scenes.The book is also comprehensive enough to have snippets of information that an experienced user may not know.

This Book provides an in depth step by Step approach for mastering Adobe Premier Pro CS6 by proposing a series of small Video Editing and Mastering project. I was able to browse through each exercise and most importantly, learn how to be highly productive in a very short time frame. Each exercise bring to light the most efficient way of doing things, including organizing your desktop and data for increased productivity, maximizing the use of the most important keyboard shortcuts and suggesting methods for streamlining your workflow. Additionally, the book will also teach you the terms and language used in the industry and provide you a wide exposure to all aspect of movie making from basic montage and cutting techniques to realizing real live projects such as creating news for a local TV, learning how to edit/synchronize clips from multiple cameras, add visual effects, correcting audio problems and export to different media. A must read for all movie maker fans !

I had a bit of difficulty downloading the supporting project files, but once accomplished this was an excellent book for learning Adobe Premiere Pro CS6. The book really pushes you to use the keyboard shortcuts and it does pay off eventually. It teaches a lot of tips and techniques that I didn't pick up on with other books. If you're serious about learning CS6, I highly recommend it.

Great book, well written and full of fun (and of course useful!) projects. By the time you finish with the book, you will not only have a much better understanding of the software, but even editing in general. Lots of little tips & tricks throughout to help tweak your skills as an editor that go beyond Premiere.The projects themselves are fun and most build upon themselves (for example, in one lesson you learn to add muzzle flashes, clones and because hey, you never know) laser beams). In the next lesson you kick it up a notch with an explosion, heat glow and explosion tremor.Of course it also goes past flashy special effects and into project-saving post-production corrections. You will learn to correct white balance, color issues and even the infamous "rolling shutter" problem with many DSLRs. That particular lesson is key for when the words "we'll fix it in post" are uttered.Highly recommended to anyone who is interested in getting more out of Adobe Premiere CS6.
