Additional Premiere Pro Resources
First of all, the online help available within the software from the Help pulldown menu is very useful and, of course, always right at hand. I always start there to address my questions.
Class On Demand offers a series of instructional DVDs that are solid information, and the host may seem strangely familiar.
Other resources are available on the Web:

Adobe’s own user forums. You will find a forum for every product in the Adobe lineup here. Maybe Premiere Pro isn’t the only one that interests you.
A strong community of media production pros and enthusiasts. Adobe Premiere Pro is one of more than 100 forums focusing on various aspects of video, film, audio, and rich media production. (You may recognize a few of the moderators.) The site also includes articles, reviews, and a free newsletter.
Digital Media Net’s lineup of user forums includes one that focuses on Premiere Pro. This is a large site with many resources. Although participation in the forums is free, paying a modest membership fee allows access to the site with minimal advertising.

Steven Gotz maintains one of the best free Premiere Pro resource sites on the Web. Links, tutorials, and FAQs are regularly updated.
Curt Wrigley has built a following for his site with tutorials that range from entry level to imitating effects of major motion pictures. Another free site worth frequenting for a novice or expert Premiere Pro user.
http://www.adobepremiereprohelp.com
The Premiere Pro Help Web site is designed as an online Help companion for Premiere Pro, with an extensive library of screen movie and multimedia tutorials. Scheduled to go online in January of 2004, the site will include discussion forums and a tutorial-on-demand service for a modest subscription fee.
Enjoy.
