The Video Collection Revealed: Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, After Effects CS6, Audition CS6 and Encore CS6

After taking a class requiring a book from this series, I was so impressed with the layout, and easy to follow format, that I purchased this book to study other programs from Adobe. This particular book came with a set of CD-ROM's which has all the files to work along as you read through the book. The style of the writing is you read a bit, perform the operations through a step by step, then at the end of the chapter, do a skills review, and other real-world problem solving. For anybody interested in learning the art of editing video, I HIGHLY recommend this book, or any in the series. I know I plan on purchasing the entire series of books. The book itself arrived earlier than anticipated, wrapped in plastic for protection and included a 3 CD set filled with all the files required for working through the projects.

Book is great but be careful who you get it from. When I got it "new" the cd was disintegrated from water and heat damage.

Every book this company has made about Adobe products have been amazing. Besides using youtube tutorials, these books are my only resources i use. they write detailed info on how to do things. and write it in a way that is very easy to understand. even my wife who is technically challenged was able to figure out how to use Premiere

This series came with the exercise files on 3 cd's. No reason to find and download them. Book is easy to follow along with too.

Had to order this book for a college class I took. Very detailed book and the pics were helpful. Didn't use it too much but it was good and useful.

Low price, no CD's. It is designed to be used with the CD.s

This video was helpful from a beginners stand point . Learned several things I had no idea the camera could do.

I go to baker college of flint and this book was needed. I was excited to jump into this book. Following the instructions of the projects I quickly found out that you dont get new projects from the cs5 version or the cs6 version all the same....LAZY. The instructions are very poorly written for simple tutorials. I found myself having to read the same steps over and over to get a step to work...only to find out that step is not even needed. It ask you to use plug-ins that does not come with the software. I often find myself having to download trails of software like Mocha(when I did get Mocha it didnt even support the file type given.) or going onto adobe to download resource files that for some reason are not included on the cds provided. The book does not tell you how to get the files or what websites to trust to download them. Lucky for me google was nice. I am pretty good at adobe and autodesk software teaching myself since I was 16,(now 20) I and never had a problem with any other book I've had to use. I would not recommend this book to anyone not even my most hated nemisis. If you are looking for a good book to learn with I suggest any of the against the clock books or sams teach yourself both I have used more than once and was able to learn new code or software with ease.
