Updated myself in Adobe!

Back in Pokhara, I had used Adobe Premiere 6.5 and After Effects 5.0.

Last time when I encountered Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 , I couldn't understand the logic of sequences and GUI was maddening.

I determined to update myself to upgrade myself. I studied and found that Premiere and AFX have done marvellous upgrading.

I Studied Classroom In Book Series for Adobe Premiere CS3 and Adobe After Effects 7.0
