Book Summary Information

Book Reviews of iMovie 2 for Dummies

Book Review: Includes a good CD demo
Summary: 5 Stars

I wouldn't say this is the best iMovie2 book, but the author does a good job outlining, laying out, and explaining editing procedures and techniques. It's not that iMovie2 is a difficult program to learn or use, but it's just that books like these provide insightful strategies that enable you to get more out of the program. I certaintly recommend this book for first time and intermediate users of iMovie2.

Summary of iMovie 2 for Dummies

As you would expect, iMovie 2 for Dummies does a super job of explaining how to accomplish tasks in the iMovie 2 environment--look for precise directions on adding titles, overlaying narration, chopping up audio clips, and doing all the other technical work associated with assembling a movie. The Dummies format emphasizes text descriptions of what to do over the illustrations in the Visual QuickStart Guide series--both approaches are effective. Experienced moviemakers will appreciate the discussion of the iMovie interface; novices will like the ideas about how to make movies more appealing and technically clean. --David Wall
