his innovative, in-depth video training course and accompanying 48-page full-color book, is aimed at intermediate users who need to get up speed on the new features of Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects CS5.5, and expand their knowledge of Adobe’s Production Premium Suite.The course takes the user on a journey from script to screen. Beginning with Adobe Story, moving on to Premiere Pro, Audition, Photoshop, After Effects, the Adobe Media Encoder and Encore, the course follows a client brief to produce media assets for broadcast and the web.Experienced instructor Maxim Jago presents nine hours of exceptional quality video tutorials, complete with lesson files, assessment quizzes, and review materials. The video is wrapped in a unique interface that allows the viewer to jump to any topic and also bookmark individual sections for later review. The unique Watch-and-Work mode shrinks the video into a small window to allow the student to work alongside in Premiere Pro and After Effects. Project files used in the lessons are included on the disc so viewers can practice what they've learned, and interactive review questions help reinforce freshly gained knowledge.
