freefalle 0 #1 December 22, 2003 I just got premiere 6.5 from a friend of mine. Seems like a great program, I installed in and even got it to play some of the video from my PC100. It seems like a great program but ALOT to learn. Does anyone know of any good books that explain how to use it in simple terms. I have no experience in video editing so this all seems pretty advanced to me, thanks for any help Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You might also wanna check www.adobe.com under premiere, they have alot of turorials as well (very good ones I might add) Premiere IS a great bargain for its price, enjoy it.Be Simple, Be Creative, Bee!

diverds 0 #4 December 22, 2003 Barnes and Noble carries a book called "Teach Yourself Adobe Premiere 6.5 in 24 Hours" It's about $30 and worth every cent. It is broken up into sections so if you have some experience you don't have to waste your time on the basics and can jump to more advanced lessons. Or if you have never used an NLE you can start from chapter one and baby step your way through it. Great book. Skydive Radio Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
webracer 0 #5 December 23, 2003 Go to Adobe's website and look for total training. Or search the web (it may be www.totaltraining.com) It is 16 hours on DVD covering all the tools and options, and then some labs and projects. It is great. It also is only $99 now, It was $249 before Premiere pro came out. I cannot recommend it enough. I have already gotten two folks at the DZ to buy it, and you know how cheap us skydivers are. You can get a taste by putting in disc three from the installation set. It has a sample of the training. AWESOME!Troy I am now free to exercise my downward mobility.

MichaelBess 0 #6 December 28, 2003 There are some very good suggestions here so far. I would take it one step further and ask you what kind of learner are you? Some people are technical learners while other are purely visual. I am a visual learner so I selected "Teach yourself Visually" by Sherry Willard Kinkoph. I personally like the book! I purchased it at Barnes and Noble. For the technical learners I may suggest Classroom in a book. I bought that one as well but did not like it nearly as much (Personal learning preference). Creative Cow is an excellent site. Another site you may consider is: http://www.wrigleyvideo.com. Click on tutorials and download a few. He gives you step by step instruction on a variety of tasks for Premiere 6 as well as Premiere 6.5. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everything was fine until I made a PAL movie for my brother. Ever since, even though I returned the settings to NTSC it seems that the interlacing is all wrong. Any scene with much movement in it shows very strange interlace effects, whether shown on the PC or on a regular TV. This happens even with new captures.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
