WRR Review

Adobe Flash CS3 Professional Video Studio Techniques is a really great book, the author does a good job helping out biginners, but we feel it communicates more to experienced users. It's important to note that this book does not focus on making websites or graphics animation. The focus is on video production for the web and post-productions. One thing that we really liked about the book is that a 7 GB DVD accompanies it full with samples, video classes, and tools.
Overall this is really the only book that any of us here at Web Resource Review has used so we don't have much to compare to, but the author does make it clear and accessible for readers. If you're not going to be doing any video editing than you won't need this book.
