Sorry to waste your time with the book pitch Julian. Had we known you were “on a trial” we would have never suggested such a great way to learn about PrP. Please forgive us 😛
Yes, Cody that’s the book. Im on chapter 5 and PrP is beginning to feel like an old friend after 4 years of FCP every day. Its nice not be frustrated in the learning process.

As an experienced editor, you owe it to yourself to avoid a hit and miss approach to learning PrP. I am in the same situation (switching) and I found this book to be exactly what I needed. It reduces the frustration and reveals the hidden power of PrP. The accompanying DVD has 5.5 hours of instruction. Richard Harrington targeted this book for folks like you and me. Its a fine tool for accelerated learning.

I was at a beta test facility that had it a few years before release. Might have been 95 or 96. At this point in my life all time is relative 😉

Ha…just came across my page 😉 DS was a wonderfully innovative tool when it came out in the early 90’s. I do miss the creativity that was possible in making custom effects and transitions with its nodal abilities.But from where Im sitting its heyday has came and gone. It suffered a lot from being all but ignored by Avid, in terms of development and promotion. I loved it at first, but over time its propitiatory system made integration with other necessary software either difficult or impossible. After my experience with Adobe CS 5.5 the last few weeks, its not even a consideration. Adobe cares about developing CS 5.5. Avid barely seems to tolerate DS. The need for motion graphics is streamlined in CS 5.5 In DS it was slow and clunky. I don’t need its limited range of tools now that I have things like Mocha, Cameratrakcer, After Effects, Magic Bullet and the Trapcode suite to augment my editing abilities. RIP DS. I would never consider going back.
