Great book, very informative June 23, 2011by

This textbook has excellent step-by-step info on editing, basic animation, color correction and sound fluffing, all of which we found very useful. The DVD also includes partially completed files, so you can jump in at any lesson, even if you haven't completed the previous lessons. The textbook gives professionals guidance in correcting color, a fine point, but doesn't have anything to say about correcting exposure, a more serious problem for a lot of consumer video. The classroom-in-a-book series of tutorials are put together with the same care. The best way to learn the subject.
