Product Description
Whether you consider yourself a pro or a hobbyist, you have to admit that Apple's iMovie 08 and iDVD 08 are amazing right out of the box. Unfortunately, the box doesn't include much of a user's guide, so learning about these applications is another matter. iMovie 08 & iDVD: The Missing Manual gets you up to speed on all of the themes, motion graphics, titles, effects -- everything that lets you turn raw digital footage into highly creative video projects. You get crystal-clear and jargon-free explanations of all the iMovie 08 and iDVD 08 features, including the new video library, how to view transitions, titles, and sound in real time as you add them, and ways to publish your creations directly to YouTube. Renowned author David Pogue -- tech columnist for the New York Times -- uses an objective lens to scrutinize every step of process, including how to: Work on multiple iMovie projects at once and drag & drop clips among them Output your creation to a blog, its own web page, or as a video podcast with iWeb Use "Magic iMovie" to import your video and make a movie for you Integrate with other iLife programs to use songs, photos, and an original sound track And a whole lot more From choosing and using a digital camcorder to burning the finished work onto DVDs, posting it online, or creating versions for iPod and iPhone, iMovie 08 & iDVD: The Missing Manual zooms right in on the details in a concise and understandable manner. The book also provides a firm grounding in basic film technique so that the quality of your video won't rely entirely on magic.

• Buy It, Own It, Use It 09 September, 2008
Before reading this book I'd never made a video or even held a video camera. With the expertise communicated in this book, IMovie is a delight to use and, my videos are gorgeous (at least the ones I'm not in). David Pogue made learning easy. The book has quickly answered every question I've had. It's an extraordinarily well written and effective reference, without question the best book I've ever used to navigate through any application or computer related miasma. It has given me confidence to use iMovie that I otherwise would never have had. Pogue has managed to blend a deep and wide knowledge of video making, computer software, older versions of iMovie and possible future versions into one terrific book. If you want to get the most out of iMovie 08 you should own this book and use it often.

• Incite At A Price 04 September, 2008
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.
