Pearls for sale, only 10 cents each October 8, 2008

My work consists mainly of creating "music videos" (slide shows set to music) that I output at WMV 720p using Photoshop Elements.
My limited use of Premiere is chiefly for the conversion of my WMV 720p slide shows to MPEG 1080i 30 format (MPEG2) either to play from my HDD on my HD monitor and TV, or, I use the MPEG2s to burn Blu-ray DVDs.
Despite the fact that I only skimmed those parts of Grisetti's book that are not currently relevant to my workflow (the chapters on Themes, Effects, Transitons, Titles, The Propeties Panel and Keyframng), I still found PLENTY of "pearls of information" to highlight with my yellow Sharpie.
Specifically, I counted more than 250 yellow highlights on the 161 pages, which works out to less than 10 cents a "pearl" (the book sells for $24.95).
Grisetti's previous "In a Snap" books were task-oriented, while this book is tool-oriented, that is, it covers how to use each of the many tools that are available in Premiere 7.
Now that I have both his task-oriented and his tool-oriented books by my three computers, I feel more capable than ever of "wow-ing" my clients with my music videos.
If you use ANY of the versions of Adobe Premiere Elements, whether 2.0 or 7 or one of the "in-between" versions, I would suggest that you get both this and his previous books. I currently use Premiere 4.0 while I'm waiting for my copy of Premiere 7 to arrive, nevertheless, I found both his older and his newer books to be packed with information that helps me use 4.0 more effectively.
Great Book November 16, 2008

This is an excellent book with many useful ideas. The author is extremely knowledgeable in video editing in general and in Adobe Premiere 7 specifically.

Even though I haven't upgraded to Premiere Elements 7 yet, I bought this book on PE7 to see if it would solve some of my problems with PE4. It did solve a lot of the problems I've been having, and I have only read a couple of chapters.
Just like the awesome Muvipix tutorials (available online by subscription at the http://www.muvipix.com website), this book is clear and concise. Best of all, it acknowledges the host of compatibility problems between PE and all other programs - including camcorder interfaces - and offers workarounds that really solve the problems, usually without having to buy any new software!
If you're laboring away trying to edit videos on the computer using Premiere Elements, you need this book. Trust me.

What an interesting read. I got the book a couple of weeks ago and it has detailed information on everything you ever needed to know about how to make a video or take a picture and how to do on the computer for us inexperienced people. It was very helpful and I highly recommend it. Thanks Mr.Grisetti
