Richard Harrington has written a book on editing DSLR footage with Adobe Premiere CS5. You can download it FREE!
The link is here:

great,
have been debating wether to switch to adobe for awhile now.
might be worth investigating it now…
Yeah, you can set up premiere too so that it uses the same shortcuts etc as final cut – that is one of the tips in the book.
How’s Baby Boots coming along? Any sign of the red carpet?www.seanbreathnach.com
on the last hurdle now,
Just putting the new original score on top and doing a final sound mix, colour grade and edit done.
should be finished very soon.
Its lookin good
okay im convinced,
gonna edit my next short 3min project on Premiere, ill let you know how i get on.
Spend the last 2 days inside premiere now and finished a 4min edit complete with colour grade using CURVES!
Found the whole process quite interesting, there are definately some great benefits to premiere,
1 being the native editing of H264 without a complete meltdown.
2 the video plays back anything you can throw at it but it does tend to skip frames a lot, this differs from FCP, where final cut simply wont play the files untill you render them, CS5 will play them regardless.
3 Rendering is sweet in CS5, it really gives specific information as to what it is currently rendering, good detailed rendering window compared with FCP’s simple percentage bar.
4 Retiming is way cooler in CS5 especially if your used to working in AE
5 I do like the nice dark background when working puts the media centre stage.
6 oh yes this one is just awesome, working with titles in CS5 is brilliant, so much options and a great input method, like having a mini photoshop right inside the app.
7 Colour correction is simply wonderful, just like being in after effects!All in All i found the whole process very educational and with those handy FCP shortcuts very easy to get a grips with.
I did miss being able to label clips different colours, and the nice snappy timeline (this is a drag in CS5, dragging clips around the timeline is fairly jerky and stiff), and not being able to find a decent replacement for the widescreen effect in FCP was a pain, but most of these are probably down to my lack of knowledge about the program and could come with time.
As it stands I am a temporary convert (will do one or two more edits before i decide) but am eager to see what FCP does with its next release in the hopes I can go back to the program I love so much.
I will post the video I edited online in a few days once I get it finalised.
” title=”Very Happy” />Great post! Yeah, I’d love to be able to label clips different colours. I hear you on the colour grading alright-it is pretty cool. And the titles too. But I haven’t used FCP in a long time, so I can’t really compare.
