About Classroom in a Book
Adobe Premiere Elements 11 Classroom in a Book is part of the official training
series for Adobe graphics and publishing software developed by Adobe prod-
uct experts. Most lessons in this book include self-paced projects that give you
hands-on experience using Adobe Premiere Elements 11.
Adobe Premiere Elements 11 Classroom in a Book includes a DVD attached to
the inside back cover. On the DVD, you’ll find all the files used for the lessons
in this book. You will almost certainly get the most benefit from working on
the lessons in the order in which they occur in the book.
As an overview, in the first two lessons, you’ll learn your way around Adobe
Premiere Elements’ and the Adobe Organizer’s interfaces, how to set up a proj-
ect in Adobe Premiere Elements, and how to customize critical preferences.
In Lesson 3, you’ll learn how to capture and otherwise import video into
Adobe Premiere Elements. Starting with Lesson 4 and continuing through
Lesson 12, you’ll open projects on the DVD or create your own from con-
tents on the disc, and learn how to convert your raw, captured clips into a
polished movie.
Note that the project files had to be created separately for Mac and Windows
computers, and were created using pre-release software and content. For this
reason, there may be some minor differences between the screens in the book
