A Collaborative Effort


In a departure from traditional Premiere how-to books, I turned this into a collaborative project. I contacted several of my friends and former colleagues in the TV and video production business who provided dozens of expert tips to supplement this book's coverage of Premiere functionality. For instance, they provided advice about shooting high-quality video, writing effectively, and creating professional voiceovers .

The timing is right for this book, both on a personal level and in the marketplace . It fits my career path to a "T." I am an Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) in Premiere and have extensive television production credentials ”TV anchor, reporter, photographer, and editor ”plus I'm a recipient of a regional Emmy award and two Society of Professional Journalists first-place awards. I've written hundreds of articles, written or worked on eight books, and have been a high school science and math teacher. I tapped all that experience to create what I think is a logical, instructional flow using readily digestible chunks of information placed in a real-world context. Sams Teach Yourself Adobe Premiere 6.5 in 24 Hours will ensure you can track how each new task fits into your project goals.

The market is primed for Premiere 6.5. Convergence may be an overused word (third only to paradigm and epiphany ), but it applies. Premiere continues to bring a reasonably priced, increasingly powerful video production tool to both Mac and Windows users (90 percent of Premiere users have Windows). High-quality digital video (DV) camcorders have dropped in price. Anyone with a laptop and a DV camcorder can operate as an independent video producer or TV news reporter. And capping that off, Premiere 6.5 now includes DVD authoring.
