Creating special effects with Premiere Elements 11

Steve Grisetti Mar 5, 2013 9:17 AM

If you've appreciated some of the help I've offered on this forum over the years, you may also be interested in my latest book, "Cool Tricks & Hot Tips for Adobe Premiere Elements 11", a step-by-step guide to creating 50 special effects with this wonderful program.

To celebrate its release, I'm giving away a free copy on Monday, March 11. All you've got to do to enter is tag onto this thread.

And if you'd like to know more about the book -- or see demos and samples of some of the tricks I'll be showing you -- you can check out this page:

Hope you'll play along!

I took a quick preview at Amazon. Cool Trick 46 alone will be enough to pry the $40 from my wallet if I don't win!

I knew if I volunteered to spend the $40 I would loose!

I'm off to Amazon!

My first Grisetti book too! If it's even a little bit as good as your lynda.com course, I will be very happy.

UPS delivered and I've done the first scan. Well done with great print quality.

Chapter 1 is the best and most concise explaination of video editing I've seen in two and a half years with this new hobby!

Chapter 2 is a fine summary of the available effects -- and how they work.

Chapters 3 through 14 show how to apply a variety of techniques creatively.

I'll not read this cover to cover. Instead it will be a front shelf reference for when I need to add some interest to a video.

Thank you Steve!

I've been using both the PrE11 guide and tips and tricks books for a few weeks and they are fantastic!

The guide is not only a good step by step primer, but it is a great reference tool as well. I love the tricks and tips book with so many fun effects to makes plain and simple clips really exciting on screen, so I (hopefully) won't bore the audience.

Thanks
