After all, who better to teach Premiere than the folks who created it?

Anyone with a Windows PC who wants to venture into anything more than very simple video editing will eventually turn to Premiere 6.5. The planned new version of Premiere, version 6.5 (slated for release in late summer 2002), will garner significant attention in part because it will add DVD authoring to its extensive feature set. The opportunity to create DVDs-from home movies to Hollywood productions-on PCs is a dramatic development, and Premiere 6.5 will be at the forefront of the emerging technology. The author has been working closely with Adobe, advising them on DVD software issues.
