Book Review: Adobe Premier Elements for Dummies
Summary: 4 Stars
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.Book Review: Adobe Premiere Elements for Dummies

Good Tech Manual. Received expeditiously.
Excellent 'general' manual.
Addresses a version of Adobe Premiere Elements
which is older than that which I have.
Book Review: Not for 4.0
Summary: 2 Stars
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.Book Review: Premiere Elements IS a Dummy

I found the book well written and quite enlightening! Unfortunately, the product Mr.Underdahl is 'teaching' us about is a faulty one at best. After following the book, word for word, I attempted to 'cut my show'. BTW, I am NOT a 'hobbyist'. The book addresses the 'Windows XP' platform and there are a few differences with the newer "Vista". Still, the book describes the many 'functions' of this software with understated humor and precision, but it doesn't address the multitude of problems one will encounter while right in the middle of a delicate 'cut' or transition. The 'error' message pops up and literally shuts down your project. I thought it was just me until I visited the 'user to user' Adobe forum and discovered that many, MANY people experience the same frustration and ultimate problems with this program. Oh yes, I as well as the others have downloaded the '3.0.2' patch...not good enough as yet another 'error' will subsequently appear and mess it up. Sorry folks, the book is fantastic but the product is not. Adobe simply wants us to upgrade for yet more money. Not acceptable. Good luck!Book Review: Adobe Premiere Elements

I like APE for preliminary formatting but I never ordered or received this item. However, having used and recommended other "... for Dummies" it would probably be a good learning resource.
