But are you impressed with what you see? Don’t you yearn to produce something that bit more professional? Follow these friendly, jargon-free, tutorials and you’ll discover talents you didn’t realise you had!
Getting Started with Premiere Elements 7
Adobe’s Premiere Elements consumer/low-cost prosumer video editing and authoring software is arguably the best in its class and has consistently offered users a superb and easy-to-understand user interface complete with good reliability.
Premiere Elements Tutorials 5-DVD Set
With almost 7 hours of tutorials you’ll be using Adobe’s award-winning program like you’ve been editing digital video for years!
Devised, presented and produced by SimplyDV’s very own Colin Barrett, the content-packed DVDs are designed to help you create video clips which you can proudly show off to family members, friends and even work colleagues.
Relaxed, friendly style – it’s like having the tutor seated next to you
Since launching the DVDs in 2009, we’ve had lots of highly favourable comments from satisfied customers who love the friendly and jargon-free style of the DVDs and who value the fact that no assumptions are made of users’ existing knowledge of experience.
Just as a taster, here’s a sample module from DVD Disc 1:
As you can see, the tutorials are designed with you in mind; you can decided what to watch and when. You can work through the 39 modules contained in the 5-disc set at a pace to suit you and experiment with your own material as your skills develop. What could be simpler?
Here’s another sample clip containing excerpts from a module on Disc 4:
You can see for yourself that the modules are all presented in a friendly, over-your-shoulder style and don’t assume any prior editing knowledge or experience. Moreover, the 5 discs contain over 7 hours – yes, 7 hours! – of useful tips and tricks to get you going.
Editing your camera and camcorder clips is easy when you know how – so order yours now and start editing like a pro!
Each DVD sells for GB£9.99 (including post and packaging), but if you buy all 5 in one transaction we’ll let you have them for the value-packed price of £39.99!

Colin, I bought your excellent set of DVD’s last year when they came out and I think they are ideal for beginners like you say. One question, are you updating them to show version 8 of the software at all and is it any different?

Hi. Yes, I am producing an update but the additional modules will serve only as supplementary modules rather than a replacement DVD set or such. I’m planning that they’ll be available for download, discounted for existing owners of the DVDs. I’ll post news when they’re ready.
