Adobe Premiere Elements for Dummies

Book used as an owner's manual before starting program. Once the program has been tried, the book serves as a reference guide, even though it repeats the wording of the help references. Tips are beneficial.

The original order was lost in shipment. It took a long time 2 resend the book. Longer than necessary. I had a five day shipment & had 2 wait another five days 2 have the shipment considered lost then had 2 wait another fives days because of a holiday. That was entirely too long of a wait. With the upcoming holiday the company could have cut the waiting time 2 four days & got the book 2 me a lot earlier.

Good Tech Manual. Received expeditiously.
Excellent 'general' manual.
Addresses a version of Adobe Premiere Elements
which is older than that which I have.

I like APE 4 preliminary formatting but I never ordered or received this item. However, having used & recommended other "... 4 Dummies" it would probably be a good learning resource.

Great book 4 someone new 2 the software. It was a huge help. Excellent index 4 the beginner.
