Preface

Adobe Premiere Pro is one of the most popular video editing programs on the market. Its lineage stretches back a number of decades to when the program was given away free with a FireWire or analogue to digital converter card. Since then the program has gone through a number of radical overhauls, not least being CS6, which changed a number of key workflows and altered the main layout to create a very clean looking interface. If you are new to Premiere Pro, or if you have just started to explore the program, or indeed you are coming from a previous version, this book will detail everything you need to know in order to get you up and running as a Hotshot video editor. Take a look at the eight project areas to get an idea of the skills you will be learning. Here you can see that pretty much every aspect of video editing with Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 is covered, often more than once in order for you to practice those new found editing skills. From automatically creating a movie montage, through to editing a short film, a news article, all the way to adding special effects to your Timeline, this book really will make a Hotshot editor out of you.
