Producing effective learning materials for such an advanced technology is a team effort. Friends,
colleagues, fellow filmmakers, and technology experts have all contributed to this book. There
are too many names to mention, but let’s say this: I have often joked that in Britain we don’t say
“awesome.” Instead, we say “perfectly acceptable.” On this occasion, “perfectly acceptable” isn’t
enough. Rather, I will have to say our British equivalent of “super awesome”: Those people who
make this world better by sharing, nurturing, caring, showing, telling, demonstrating, making,
and helping are all “definitely more than acceptable.”
Everything on these pages was inspected by a team of experienced editors who checked and
corrected typos, spelling errors, naming errors, false attributions, suspect grammar, unhelpful
phrasing, and inconsistent descriptions. This wonderful team didn’t just highlight text that
needed correcting. They offered positive alternatives that I could simply agree to, so in a literal
sense, this book is the product of many people’s contributions. I’d like to thank the teams at
Peachpit and Adobe Press, who made it possible to produce such a beautifully finessed work.
As each draft lesson was completed, and with the helpful guidance of Laura Norman, the most
amazing and highly experienced Victor Gavenda checked over the text to make sure it was
ideally accessible for learners, and all references to the technology were run by the remarkable
media technology expert Jarle Leirpoll, who has an incredible depth of knowledge of Premiere
Pro.
An amount of the content of this book is derived from material written by Richard Harrington,
five versions back. The original table of contents was worked out by the two of us, and though I
have updated Richard’s lessons, rephrased, and reworded them, a substantial amount remains
unchanged or is significantly informed by his great original work.
Finally, let’s not forget Adobe. The passion and enthusiasm demonstrated by those wonderful
individuals, who are so committed to creatives like you and me, qualifies as “the most acceptable
of all.” They are, indeed, extraordinarily awesome!
