I have the manual. I think I opened it once to find out how many pages are in it. To answer your question.. something I guess jbone missed (didn't you leave?)
I was wondering what some of you guys or gals used to jump start your knowlege.
Personally, I got premiere, took a good look at some of the videos, and messed around with premiere to figure out how to do most effects. I still have no idea how masking works, but if and when there comes a time I need to know, then I wont learn it.
If you have an obscure question, thats what the help forums are for. Make sure, if you use them, that it is truely a weird problem, and not something you should know.
