Title: Premiere 5.1 Mac Windows: Visual QuickStart Guide by Anthony Bolante ISBN: 0201354756 Publisher: Peachpit Press Pub. Date: 15 September, 1999 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $19.99 |

Summary: Disappointing except as a quickstart guide
Comment: Although marketed as a "quickstart" guide, I was disappointed at the lack of technical and explanatory text. Data rate is an important variable using Premiere, yet Bolante discounts a discussion of the complex topic by referring the reader back to Adobe's user guide and online help system...two pieces of the product that encouraged me to run screaming for better information. Bolante's book tends toward linear instruction (i.e., do this, then this, then this...) and is best used, indeed, as only a quick start tool.

Summary: Premiere 5.1 Mac Windows: Visual QuickStart Guide
Comment: The book is difficult to understand if you have no traditional video editing experience. There is an opportunity for someone to write a more comprehensive manual.
Rating: 5
Summary: For the Artistic Filmmaker/Editor
Comment: There are generally two types of Filmmakers/Editors: The Artistic and the Technical. The Artist knows what s/he wants to accomplish from the get go and just wants to know what the necessary functions are from a program like Premiere to get from A to B - from their head to the screen. Technical types aren't as sure what they want before hand and feel better knowing everything about the tools they use so that out of all the technical options, a creative solution may arise. This book is for the former, the Artists - and it's great. I found Premiere daunting at first glance, but this book set the clear goal of learning how to edit in clear concise steps. I was ready to go in 2hrs. If you want to learn how to edit and edit fast with all the ways thereof, get this book. After you get comfortable here then you can go on to the standard manual for specific advice on things like hardware and capture and all the bells and whistles or you can use the Classroom book. But this book has no lame tutorials - it doesn't need any. For the intuitive creative artist who just wants to get comfortable with the essence of the program look no further (it also sells at a price comforting to most,um, artists : )). However, Techies and hobbyists may be very, very disappointed...
