JSS1138 Apr 11, 2009 2:33 PM (in response to Kent Jakusz)This may not be the popular answer, but my own viewpoint here is that things of this type are best learned while earning a degree in video production.
First learn, then do. That you're here asking this question indicates you're trying to skip (or at at least shortcut) step one, which is something I generally advise against for those wanting to use an editor at the Premiere Pro level.

Eddie Lotter Apr 11, 2009 2:57 PM (in response to Kent Jakusz)Welcome to the forums.
A glossary will explain terms to you.
You will also find links to many free tutorials in the PremiereProPedia that will quickly show you how things are done in Premiere Pro.
Cheers

Bill Hunt Apr 11, 2009 5:46 PM (in response to Eddie Lotter)Eddie,
Neat! I always thought that the manual should have had a full glossary. Thanks for posting the link.
Even with a degree in cinematography, I had to learn a new language, just so I could use Help and ask questions here.
To the OP,
If the printed manual is still shipped with PrPro, I'd recommend reading it cover to cover, and then many of the terms will start to make sense. It took me two readings for some of it to sink in. I still use it for things that went over my head on both readings, and some years of working with the program. Learning these terms, as you wish to do, will help everywhere, especially in the fora, so that everyone is "on the same page." That's one reason that I use capitalization for terms that are used in PrPro, when posting.
Good luck,
Hunt

Kent Jakusz Apr 11, 2009 5:54 PM (in response to Kent Jakusz)Thanks Eddie for the great answer. Yes I am new at this and yes I am trying to learn it on my own. I live in a rural area and do not have access to a facility where a degree is offered. A more structured classroom would be nice.
Thanks to all
Kent

windowman Apr 12, 2009 4:01 PM (in response to windowman)I should point out that those web pages were made in 2005. There are some new codecs and cams out since then, but most of the info is still pertinent.
I don't know about film schools and such. I learned everything from books and websites, and if I can do it then surely you can. You can actually learn things much quicker on your own if you're the self study type because you won't have to wade through all sorts of info you don't care about but which are required for the courses.
I've been recommending Scot Billup's book "Digital Moviemaking" for year by the way. It's the best I've ever come across for the subject at hand.

Kent Jakusz Apr 13, 2009 11:59 AM (in response to windowman)Thanks for the great response and taking the time to share. I have read your article and ordered "Digital
Moviemaking"
I use a Canon XHA1 and edit on a Mac. I am trying to decide on a editing program either FCE or Adobe PP. My
output is to DVD and the goal is for the highest quality possible. I look forward to Scott's book and again thank you.
Enjoy

john cornicello (retired) Apr 13, 2009 12:41 PM (in response to Curt Wrigley)Looks like someone deleted the duplicate posts. That won't help troubleshoot. I'm opening the thread again to see the duplicates start up again. If we get one or two please go ahead and lock it up again. But please don't delete them.
Thanks!
