Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 Studio Techniques
CreativeCOW.net leader and contributing editor Tim Kurkoski gives rave reviews to Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 Studio Techniques by Jacob Rosenberg and published by Adobe Press, 504 pages, June 28, 2004, ISBN: 0321220528. Tim says, 'If you use Premiere Pro, and your name isn't Jacob Rosenberg (or possibly Tim Kolb), you should look at this book. In fact, you should probably buy it. Jacob, well known for his in-depth Total Training videos, has written the most comprehensive book about Premiere Pro available. From top to bottom, almost everything about Premiere Pro 1.5 is covered in this book and the accompanying DVD, from setting up a computer for editing to exporting for DVD.'
