- Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2013My first book which Jan Ozer authored was on Pinnacle 10.0, many years ago. I was absolutely astonished at how easy he made thoroughly learning that program. He has done the very same here (although the learning curve is admittedly somewhat more steep)! And while I also have the excellent, Adobe Creative Team book on the subject, his book provides instant gratification in terms getting the answers you need NOW, which are accompanied by more than ample illustrations! The illustrations are screenshots, some of which may require magnifying glasses for older eyes and certainly bright reading lights because the Adobe workplace itself is a dark grey for editing purposes and so are the illustrations.
Another bonus is the ability to download the book digitally at no cost for reading on a computer, Kindle or other devices. About the only thing missing is a DVD. But on the other hand, his examples are so complete as to make a DVD virtually superfluous.
Bottom line: As far as I'm concerned Ozer continues batting 1000!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2014As advertised. Large print step by step instructions. easy to understand. Can use it while I am on the computer working. Love the ebook download that lets me work everywhere.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2016I bought this guide after reading the good reviews AND downloading a 'sample' of it. Now that I have had it a few days and have been able to spend more time with it, I am very pleased with this manual to Premiere. I really like that most of the features of Premiere are dealt with individually so that you can find the appropriate section, read it and understand how it works and how I can use it. I have the Classroom in a Book also, but that one does not lend itself to jumping into a process without having pretty much gone through the 'learning sequence' before it. Is one "better" than the other?? I think it depends on the way YOU learn best, but for me, I like this style.
I like that it can be downloaded to my Kindle and be there for casual browsing.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2016I have no idea why anyone wold give this book less than 5 stars. I'm a developer in PHP, Python, and Ruby. I bought a new RV and decided to start my own YouTube channel called 2PupsNCat. I wanted to learn Adobe Premiere. I'm well versed with a computer. But this book is perfect for beginners and experts. Covers everything you need. Easy to read. I read a chapter a day and finished it in 2 weeks. If the author is reading this (Jan), please write a book on Adobe After Effects. I'll be your fist customer.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2013I find these quickstart guides to be extremely helpful when learning a new piece of software. They are always well-organized and clear, much more so than the documentation that comes with the software. This one for Adobe Premiere Pro is no exception. Excellent resources.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2014Jan Ozer writes in a way that is easy to understand. If you are new to Premiere or upgrading from CS6, get this book. You will need to provide your own video clips to work with but that is not usually a problem. I have used this book to teach Premiere CC classes.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2015fast shipment, good learning book
- Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2014I think the material in this book is old; the author spends a long time talking about media transfer hardware like IEEE 1394, etc. Really? Are we in 2007? I know back then there was no USB 3 or Thunderbolt, but uh, well, times have changed. I believe this book is just a re-write of a previous book, and not all of the sections have been fully updated.
And, to the author: Premiere Pro CC should not be referenced as CS7......
But my main point, with no lesson files, it just doesn't work for me, and I sure can't recommend it. You're not really learning, (to learn a product, you must USE the product) and the book is not training, it's just reading material. You could consider it a reference book, maybe.

an excellent and informative book

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book for starters, occasionally had to YouTube when info. wasn't clear or present.
It's a very good book for introducing to P. Pro, but I found some aspects apparently missing which required YouTube searching to answer e.g. try as I might couldn't find how to add a title, and how to ensure it's transparent. Turns out you drag it to a timeline above your video, easy when you know. Apologies to author if I'm to thick to find it in the book.
