The Part of Tens

In this part ...

Most people love top-ten lists. Most people have ten fingers. Coincidence? I don't think so. If you've ever read a For Dummies book, you know what this part is all about. The chapters in this part provide top-ten lists to help you find useful stuff by tens — ten advanced editing techniques in Premiere Elements, ten secrets of moviemaking, and ten pieces of software and hardware you just won't want to do without.

At the end of this part is an appendix. Unlike the appendix that is part of the human anatomy, the appendix of Premiere 8 Elements For Dummies serves an important function. Throughout this book, and indeed through your entire adventure in video editing, you will encounter an entirely different language referring to video editing and technologies. You encounter new terms like interlacing or pixel aspect ratio and countless acronyms like NTSC and NLE. Thus, this glossary serves as a dictionary of videography lingo.
