As a video pro, you already know what Adobe has finally figured out-that these days digital video innovation stops for no one! Which is precisely why Adobe cut loose its Mac users and focused instead on a single platform in order to deliver a product-the Windows XP-only Premiere Pro ($699)-that takes advantage of all of today's hardware and media-layer advances. The result is a virtually render-free editing experience you won't want to waste any time getting up to speed on. Enter this task-based guide! Adopting the step-by-step, visual approach that's become the hallmark of Peachpit's popular Visual QuickPro series, this volume will have you editing full-length videos, complete with titles, transitions, and special effects, in record time. In the process you'll learn about all that's new in Premiere: three-point color correction, multiple timelines, a new audio mixer, and more. The concepts may be complex, but the instruction is crystal-clear: direct, concise language complemented by time-saving tips and plenty of visual aids.
