Adobe Guidance Needed at DVinfo.net

Tim Grant · January 28th, 2010, 11:02 PM

Hello All-

First off I would like to introduce myself since this is my first time posting on this forum. So Hello dvinfo users! A little bit about myself- I am a very young intern who is in the process of being converted from photography to digital video by my coworkers. I was just recently handed a 7D, Tamron 17-50mm lens, steadicam, and Adobe Suite for my mac book. So you can say i'm fairly spoiled at work.

Ok down to business. First advise that I am seeking is where to look for the best and fastest way to learn Adobe CS4 Premiere and then Adobe After Effects. I have already been watching tutorials online, but I was wondering if there were any recommended books or other forum to read. Looked at the Adobe forum, but doesn't look like there is much action going on there. I know that practice will help me the most but I want to learn short keys and all of that jazz. So if you think that you know anything that can help me (someone who knows absolutely nothing) please let me know!

-Tim

Summary: I know nothing about CS4 Premiere and Effects. Recommend where to start.

Lynda.com is a great resource for US$25 per month. And there's nothing better than doing a small easily handled project to start honing your skills ... well except for finding and posting your question on the best video forum in the world. Welcome to DVINFO!
