Reader Reviews
At first glance the book looked pretty well written but you can't judge until you work through the tutorials. After going through the first few of them I decided to switch to another book due to the following problems. The projects do not load correctly from the CD since some of the media files are in the wrong place and there are mistakes in the tutorials as well. The most recent mistake was when a clip was moved out of the way on one page since it was not to be used until later, and then referred to on the next page as though it was not moved. Not only that, the space on the timeline where it was suposed to be was occupied by another clip. It is discouraging to follow a tutorial for quite a while only to get lost. I tried it several times to make sure it wasn't I who was the problem. The book does contain some fine examples including the Confidence Builder at the beginning but more time should have been taken to test all of the tutorials.
