Is there a manual for PPro CC
I’m getting ready to start my trial for PPro CC and I’m looking for a complete manual, not tutorials. Does one exist and if so where can I find it? Thanks.

Keep in mind that the .PDF gets updated periodically. The online help is always live. Choose Help > Adobe Premiere Pro Help…. for the latest and greatest.

On-line help is fine when you have specific questions but when trying to figure out a whole workflow you need documentation, especially if your first considering switching in the first place. Unless the complete on-line help is available for non-subscribers it doesn’t do anything for me at all at this point.
A drawback of all the quick releases the Cloud enables is that the documentation lags far behind. The PDF with all it’s “what’s new in this release” for each update might be fine for those who are upgrading, but for those like myself who are starting from scratch, the PDF is a little “slim.”
Case in point: I’m trying to understand the multi-cam workflow. The current PDF has multi-cam info spread all over the place, sometimes listed under multi-cam, other times not, and there is no index.

To kill time on a recent long flight I picked up a new book – Adobe Premiere Pro Studio Techniques. It covers the CC version and is really fantastic. It assumes you know the basics of editing and digs into system configuration, settings for optimal performance, workflow, advanced editing, etc. It has an entire chapter on multi cam that lays it out pretty clearly. I highly recommend it if you don’t mind dropping a few bucks to help get up to speed more quickly.

Sounds perfect for me. Thanks.

While your at it can you pass this along as well, it’s from another thread but I haven’t gotten any answers yet:
The following comes from Adobe’s PDF documentation – “Using the Multi-Camera Source Sequence dialog box”
In the section about choosing how to set-up the audio, one of the choices is to select “Switch Audio.” I’m trying ot understand what this choice does. Here is Adobe’s explanation –
“Select Switch Audio when you want the audio to switch with its linked video. This setting unmutes all audio. It enables multicam editing on both the video and audio of the source sequence, when the audio follows video setting is enabled in the Program monitor. This setting also maps multi-mono source audio into a single adaptive audio track.”
Since I need to switch audio between my different camera’s as much as I need to switch the video this looks like the choice for me, however I have no idea what “maps multi-mono source audio into a single adaptive audio track” means. Can anyone clarify, because the manual does not.
Also, it sounds like I can switch audio by using the “audio follow video” feature, but is it possible to switch audio without switching the video ?

The new Premiere Pro CC: Visual QuickStart Guide is detailed and thorough–as are other books I’ve used in this series. For example, it clearly explains the “Nest Source Sequence” toggle–which CC introduced without documentation–and even specifies how the toggle looks when it’s on and when it’s off. The only drawback of the print book is that the smallish screenshots of the standard CC charcoal interface are very hard to read. But you get a free e-book with the print version and can enlarge the pages on your laptop screen to view more easily.
