Summary: Very nice for novice user and reference, not advanced
Comment: Adobe premiere is an awesome product that is extremely diverse. The Classroom in a book will help you find your way through most of the main features and get familiar with them. I found it extremely helpful and was very happy with all the examples that are worked out nicely. For reference you will have a great guide in this book too. If you want to get into the nitty gritty and potentially advanced features you will not find all your answers and need to do your research elsewhere. Still the book is well worth its money and will get you off to a flying start!

Summary: Why the bad reviews? This book is GREAT!!
Comment: Whoa! I see read some bad reviews for this book! And I totally disagreed with them. Sure some of you major in computer programming, engineer, and many other occupations. but your going to have to be realistic and realize that this is "premiere" this is NLE ( Non-Linear Editing) and if your not familiar with it. Of course your going to have difficulty learning it.
This book is great! This is the second adobe premiere book i got. I was intimidated by it at first so i bought "Adobe Premiere The Visually in full color 6.0" you know that book with pretty pictures. However i came to the point that if i really want to learn premiere i am going to have to challenge my self and i did that!
Its not impossible to learn adobe premiere! However its not simple either! If you want to just cut and paste and add transitions. That will take you less then an hour. However if you want to learn how to add effects, work with keys, over laying, audio, superimposing, etc., etc., etc. This is the book for you, In other words if you want to be a very experience user with premiere get this book! If you want a challenge get this book! If you want to make profesional Video get this book!
If you want to make simple home video, Just learn some of the basics, Cut, Paste, Transitions and compression. Or get Video Wave and graduate from it and come to premiere. ( I did )

Summary: excellent practical introduction to Premiere for novices
Comment: This book should be looked at as a companion to Adobe manual, or as a practical introduction to Premiere. It guides the user, which is assumed to be a complete novice in Premiere, step by step through hands-on lessons and explains along the way some ideas and principles of digital video editing. As all other "classroom in a book" manuals, it is very well edited proofread (which means that it contains very few errors - if the authors say "click on icon A in palette B", they mean exactly that) and all files which the book refers to can indeed be found on the enclosed CD (I saw so many books with some of the tutorial files missing...). Unlike some other reviewers, I had no problems reproducing the actions described in the book on the computer screen, as long as I was careful to reproduce the steps exactly as they are described.
All this said, this book is not intended to be used as an advanced level manual. While it touches to some extent all features of Premiere, it does not necessarily goes into details of all of them. One could definitely benefit from a combination of practical lessons offered by this book with insights that can be found in other books. But it is invaluable as a means of the first exposure to Premiere and as a way to get a basic practical training in Premiere in a short time.
The tutorial files and the structure of lessons are the same as in the earlier version of the book, "Premiere 5.0 classroom in a book". The difference in mostly in explanation of DV format, DV capture, and new features of the timeline and audio editing. This book can also be used for Premiere 6.5 since the difference is primarily in improved title editor and availability of MPEG2 export.
I read this book twice within a week, first time just reproducing step after step and trying to grab the concepts, and the second time playing around and experimenting. After these two readings, I feel that I have a good understanding of the program and understand its functions and procedures involved in digital editing to the level sufficient to apply this knowledge to practical editing.
I do believe that "learning by doing" is the best way to learn how to work with a piece of software. Therefore, I ranked it 5 stars - with a note "book for beginners"
