Creating Web Video with Adobe Premiere

Rating:
Summary: Very hard to follow
Review: If you know nothing about Adobe Premiere then this is not the book for you. The lessons are hard to follow and sometimes very confusing if you are not already familiar with Premiere. It's practically impossible to go through the tutorial from start to finish without getting totally lost. The book does have some useful information regarding compression and embedding so I gave it 2 stars instead of none. I know a lot of people liked this book and that is why I bought it, but I just don't think it is for a beginner. I started out not knowing anything about Premiere and video editing and I still know nothing.

Summary: Creating Web Video with Adobe Premiere
Review: This easy to follow book on creating video for the web was clear, organized and a great aid in understanding the subject of web video: from shooting the footage to getting it online, and addresses all he downloadable and streaming formats.

Although the title seems to target mainly users of Adobe Premiere, as a Final Cut Pro user I found it full of practical advice and step by step instruction that I easily converted for my own used with Final Cut Pro.

If you are a novice in the field of web video, and need straight-forward instruction and explaination -- if you are interested in understanding how to approach and implement your video projects and deliver them to an audience of online viewers, this is a necessary manual to have on hand. It will provide you the tools to get the job done, and inspire you in directions that you may have thought beyond the scope of your personal learning curve.

Kudos to Thomas Luehrsen and Creating Web Video!. I'll be looking for and hopefully finding other titles by this author in the future.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: Well organized and very clearly written. Mr. Luehren covers all the bases and strikes a great balance between necessary detail and unnecessary geek-speak. The book is engaging without being overly cute, like so many how to books can be. I would highly recommend this book for beginners and experienced users alike.
