Product Description:
Adobe Premiere Elements offers amateur and home moviemakers the opportunity to work with editing tools as powerful as those packed into Adobe Premiere Pro, one of the top tools on the market. Adobe Premiere Elements For Dummies offers these same users not only a guide through all the how-to steps of using the software, but also a valuable reference on how to best apply the tools to a great video project.
Author Keith Underdahl, also author of Adobe Premiere Pro For Dummies, is an experienced video editor who understands what new Premiere users need to know and how to best explain the topics. In this book, Keith describes: - Best practices for shooting quality video
- Picking the clips you want to keep and getting them into your computer
- How to use Premiere Elements’ editing tools to add an opening credits page, transitions between clips, sound, music, and ending credits.
- Adding special effects using only computer trickery
- Putting your finished project on a DVD, videotape, or the Internet
Covering more ground than the typical expanded users manuals you find in bookstores, Adobe Premiere Elements For Dummies is the book you need to get you through your first video-editing project as well as to return to whenever you hit rough spots and need instant help.

This book was published in 2004....there's been a change or two since then...the user interface doesn't even look the same anymore...
I would not recommend it.

I've used Underdahl's Home Video for Dummies and moved on to this one when, on the basis of that book, I invested in Adobe Premiere Elements 4.0. (7.0 won't run on my 5-year-old computer). While I've learned a good bit about the basics of using Premiere Elements from this book, its advanced sections are more confusing than helpful because they are based on the 1.0 version of the program. Few of the screenshots look the same, and the drop-down menus are very different. The version of APE should have been stated in the title, and both Underdahl and his publisher know it. Now I'm looking for a similarly helpful book on 4.0, which I should have bought in the first place.

I really had problems trying to read the on-line manual. This Dummies book was a big help. In addition to the basic tools and features, there were many bells and whistles available in Premiere Elements that I didn't know were there -or- even thought would be available with the software package.

I don't always like these series, but the author made a very usable and understandable text. It is easy to use. If found it much easier to understand and use the program features than the actual help program supplied by Adobe.

Book used as an owner's manual before starting program. Once the program has been tried, the book serves as a reference guide, even though it repeats the wording of the help references. Tips are beneficial.
