Book Reviews of iMovie '08 & iDVD: The Missing Manual
Book Review: Great Book
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great easy to understand book. The graphics help with the learning process and gives you simple step by step instructions. The book makes it easy to use the program while reviewing the pages without having to switch back and forth like the video tutorial. I just wish the author would produce the missing manual for Final Cut Express.Book Review: iMovie '08 & iDVD: The Missing Manual
Summary: 4 Stars
I found the manual to be very helpful and it answered some
questions for me that I had about iMovie that I hadn't found
anywhere else. I didn't like the answers, but it solved a long
ongoing problem I have had with using iMovie 08. The manual is easy
to read and follow, for even amateurs like me.

This is an excellent reference taking you step by step from how to use a camcorder to producing a finished movie.Book Review: Good basic information for the beginner
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought iMovie 08 missing manual after devouring the Leopard missing manual. The Leopard manual was a real page turner with excellent tips with each turn of the page. The iMovie '08 application doesn't have the depth that Leopard does so you won't find the quantity of tips and tricks in this book. The first sections of the book are dedicated to taking good videos and goes through some great basics of digital photography and equipment.
Personally I found little new information on iMovie that I didn't discover through trial and error before buying the book. I'm not sure if I read the book first if it would have saved me any time.
That all being said, there is a great section on Quicktime Pro that's a must read.
If you're new to video shooting and editing it's a good purchase. David Pogue is a terrific writer and walks you through the application like no one else.
Book Review: incite at a price
Summary: 3 Stars
let me begin by indicating that i have a graduate degree and i've read books like "moby dick" and "les miserables". that aside, this book is wordy. pogue breaks down EVERY little thing that could conceivably occur before, during, and after use of imovie. look up "overkill" in the latest version of webster's, this book will appear.
admittedly, there are some bright tips. the man appears to really know this animal and how it differs from its predecessors. describing in painful detail the difference between various transition effects is not necessary. trim the freakin fat and this would be a much better, more readable, if not less expensive, work.
