Book Reviews of iMovie3 &iDVD: The Missing Manual

Book Review: Created a 30+ minute slideshow using this book
Summary: 5 Stars

This book served as a guide to go from not knowing anything about iMovie to being able to create a large slideshow project. I ordered another guide first and couldn't get off square one. This guide allowed me from starting at no knowledge to understanding well enough to get my job done. The iMovie icon sat on my desktop for years before this book opened it's utility. A small and worthwhile investment to get the most out of this software. It has even given me the bug to get a camcorder and move from photography to videography.

Summary of iMovie3 &iDVD: The Missing Manual

Apple's free iMovie software made history by tearing down the barriers to pro-quality filmmaking. In version 3, iMovie offers powerful audio enhancements, slick new photo effects, and integration with iTunes and iPhoto-- but it still comes without a single page of printed instructions. In this funny, authoritative, updated guide, award-winning author David Pogue provides a complete course in Macintosh filmmaking. The book includes:
  • Essentials of film technique. Using iMovie without a grounding in film technique is like getting a map before you've learned to drive. This book offers a friendly guide to making even home movies look professional.
  • Editing basics. Part 2 of this book bursts with clever workarounds, hidden features, and editing tricks from the Hollywood film world.
  • Finding an audience. You can export your finished masterpiece back to the tape for high-quality TV playback-- or save it as a QuickTime movie that you can post on a Web page, email to friends, or burn as a Video CD.
  • Mastering DVDs. If your Mac has a SuperDrive, you can distribute your movies at much higher quality than VHS tapes or QuickTime movies-- by creating your own Hollywood-style DVDs. Four all-new chapters cover iDVD 3 in detail, including dozens of undocumented secrets for extending the program's design tools.
Whether you plan to make the next Blair Witch Project or just better home movies, iMovie 3 & iDVD: The Missing Manual lets you marry the stunning quality of digital video with the power of your imagination.
