Rating: Summary: Wow - I thought I knew Premiere Pro... Review: ...but I had no idea how little I knew! Rosenberg is not only a Premiere Pro wizard; he's also the best teacher of this kind of stuff I've ever come across. The book is written with depth, clarity, and the all-important human touch that is missing from so many other books of this type.It's literally made my workflow 3 to 4 times faster, which means a lot in my (small) business. I can't say enough good things about this book.

Rating: Summary: The book we were all waiting for Review: As one who is using Prem-Pro for the last 8 month, this is really the best book around - It doesn't concentrate on basics, but instead teaches you real tricks that the professionals use. It is a must book for anyone who wishes to work the way pros do. I recomend to complement it with the Total-Training for Adobe Premiere Pro.
Rating: Summary: THE definitive book on Premiere Pro Review: I can only imagine the amount of time and effort devoted to this book. Over 500 pages of content! Every aspect of this book was done properly with great attention to detail. The layout is inviting, the color in the book is beautiful, the topics are laid out well and covered very clearly...very intuitive. The most impressive aspect of this book is the practical application of the software demonstrated with Jacob's own real world projects and experience. It's great to learn what the features are, but understanding, why, when and how to use them turns an informative book into a productive one. Nobody is more qualified than Jacob to detail the intricacies of this elaborate application. He is the preeminent expert on Adobe Premiere and has been for quite some time. I've known Jacob for years now and it's obvious that he does quality work in every respect. This book is no exception.

Rating: Summary: Great information which will get you up to pace quickly! Review: I read this book as someone who had never used Premiere before, nor really any other editing program. This book showed me techniques how to achieve the results I wanted and the practical method to use in premiere to achieve this. It is a great book, filled with lots of useful information that is easy to read and quick to comprehend, even for a total beginner. Don't get me wrong though, it does not only cover the basics, it covers most of your editing needs within premiere even advanced topics.
Rating: Summary: GREAT, GREAT, GREAT, learning tool Review: Jacob Rosenberg has created a tool that is a must have. I have been editing on my computer using Premiere Pro for about six month. It has been a slow process since, I'm learning as I go. Well, slow learning process is a thing of the past. I have had this book less then a week. It is amazing how it has simplify my learning process. No longer will I struggle learning new techniques because it explains everything in simple to understand terms.
If you are looking for a book to learn Premiere Pro for personal or proffesional use. This is the one, you can't go wrong, I know I haven't.
Rating: Summary: Play it again...Jacob !!! Review: Jacob Rosenberg is the best teacher I know to explain you even more complicate stuff with practical examples taken from the real world.In the first two hundred pages he explains you in a "human" language ALL the interface,the nuts and bolds from Premiere Pro 1.5 so that even a beginner can learn the techniques from this awesome program.The last 300 pages are a real bonus for every videoshooter and NLE editor because he reveals greater possibilities about several techniques like chroma & luma keying,effects titling,voice over,color correcting and much more.The layout,the color examples(a request since years!!!)and the outstanding well written text are certainly worth the price.An excellent compagnion CD gives you some free bonus lessons with clear explanations regarding techniques developped in the book.
Believe me you don't need another book to learn Premiere Pro!
We want more studiotecniques Jacob;by the way when can we expect a book written about AE by this other excellent collegue of you Brian Moffit?
Rating: Summary: A Must Have In Your Collection Review: Let me start by saying I am in no way a seasoned veteran of editing. I have done some editing in the last 3 years and all with Premiere 6.0.
I recently switched to PRO and WOW what a difference. So in order to help me along with this switch over, I purchased this book mainly because of the Author and watching his tutorials that came with Premiere Pro I could tell he knew what he was talking about.
Right outta the box and in the first 3 chapters(as the beginner I am), he explains and lays out workflow examples, capturing techniques, logging of clips and explains this in a very easy to understand manner. Infact in my 3 years of Premiere I now have a greater understanding of Premiere with just this one book.
I would recommend this book to anyone first using Premiere Pro and wanting to understand the new features and learn how to apply those features. You can't go wrong with this book.
Rating: Summary: A Must Have Book Review: This is THE book to have if you want to get the most out of Premiere Pro 1.5. Mr. Rosenberg not only tells you what to do, but he takes the time and effort to tell you why, so that you can apply it to your own project.
Anyone who wants to write a how-to book ought to use this one as the guide and standard of how it is done correctly - for the reader, not just to get a book out to make some extra money quick.
Buy this book and devour it. Then go make some great videos.
