Hi folks, looking for a bit of opinion on a good down to earth tutorial series for Adobe Premiere. I've been trying to teach myself with nothing but the program itself and it's help files, but it does not go well and I find myself quite frustrated most of the time.

I've been in video editing for awhile but stick to Sony's Vegas line-up of products. I can do just about anything in Vegas but I know Adobe premiere is quite a bit more robust and has some advantages with CS5's new GPU accelerated rendering. But Premiere works so utterly different than Vegas it's crazy... last night I sat down and tried to put together a video in Premiere and it took me 10 minutes just to figure out how to do crossfades between clips on the timeline. (In Vegas you can just drag and overlap the clips and fade transition is applied, in Premiere if you try overlapping a clip it just gets cut off... lol).

I'm just looking for something to help me get my foot in the door... I know that if I want to be more 'professional' in my video editing repertoire I must learn to use Premiere.
 
Second Lynda.com... great site and actually trying to get a corporate license here at work for many other training needs.
 
Why do you feel to be "professional" you must use premiere? Many broadcast and documentary professionals use Sony Vegas Pro. "Survivorman" is produced using Vegas Pro. Sony makes some of the best broadcast/production video cameras as well, but if you must switch to premiere pro, a great site is creative cow for any serious videographer.
