Book Reviews of Adobe Premiere Elements Classroom in a Book
Book Review: Excellent tutorial
Summary: 5 Stars
It's simple. Copy the lessons from the cd to your hard drive then follow along in the book with each lesson.The lesson's are short movie clips that you work on to add effects,trim, or delete to make a short movie. The cd provides you with a final "movie" for each lesson so you will know what you are trying to achieve. This book is for the beginner. I would say there are few advanced tips in this book. If you are new to Premier elements or just can't grasp how it works this is an excellent book for you.
The book I purchased was written for an earlier edition of Premier Elements, but I could relate all of it to PE 3.0. There were few differences.
Book Review: If you are a beginner in video or Premiere Elements, this might be a good "2nd book purchase".
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have used an "Adobe Classroom in a Book" before, you know what this one is like. If you are a beginner in video or Premiere Elements, this might be a good "second book purchase". After you finish the lessons you can skim through the users manual and get what few details are left out here. The only criticism that I have about this book is that a proofreader did obviously not check it.Book Review: Maybe It's My Fault
Summary: 3 Stars
I tend to get a good amount out of Adobe's Classroom In A Book series, so I figured I'd grab the one for Elements. What I didn't realize was that this wasn't for Premiere Elements 4. Sure, I saw there was a Classroom In A Book title that had Premiere Elements 4 and Photoshop Elements 6, but I don't use Photoshop Elements, so I didn't see any point in paying extra for that. Besides, *that* book says that it takes the place of the titles for the individual programs and cuts down the cost. I figured it still meant I'd be paying more money, since I'd be getting something I didn't need.
The joke's on me. I suppose it's my own fault: I should've looked at the publication date and realized it was a little old for the version I was using. But since I've never used Premiere Elements before, I really don't know how often new versions come out.
Basically, I'm using a book that does not say *what* version it's for...And there are many things that have nothing to do with what I'm working on. I mean, it references tools that either don't exist or are hidden somehow.
Yes, I'm pretty disappointed. But, like I said, I obviously didn't dig deeply enough. So that means I'm out the 22 bucks for a useless book. And now I'm going to have to go buy something - the book w/Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements - that's only half-useful to me. (And, please, don't say, "Photoshop Elements is great." I use the full Photoshop as part of my job. I don't need the baby brother. And I certainly don't need a book to teach me how to play with the baby brother. On the other hand, I need *exactly* that for Premiere Elements. It just kills me that I have to pay for something else that I don't need or want.
Book Review: My mistake too.....

Adobe Premiere Elements Classroom in a Book Neither of these books are for Premiere Elements 4.0. I was looking to buy one for Premiere Elements version 4. BUT in looking I found the combined book that has Photoshop and Elements. I use Photoshop CS3 and certainly did not need a combination book. In the list with the combination book, I saw the Adobe Premiere Elements book, but was unaware that the book did not fit version 4. I believe that the Amazon posting should be clear. The software for 3.0 is clearly marked as OLDER VERSION. It is a bad feeling to get stuck with a book that is useless. 4/4/08Book Review: This give you the basic.
