 Rating:  - iMovie 08 & iDVD 08I have used this series of books for a long time and they are excellent. This book is easy to follow and has a good deal of diagrams and pictures to help you learn both of these excellent applications. I have used this book with people new to iMovie & iDVD and those with a lot of experiences. I highly recommend it. Rating: - Great Job, Jeff Carlson!Having quicky tired of Vista, I took the plunge and bought a Mac laptop. This was one of the first books I bought for the Mac. Author Jeff Carlson does a great job explaining the basics of movie-making with iMovie. Although I've quickly stepped up to Final Cut Pro (although very cool, iMovies is pretty limited), I still find myself referring back to this book from time to time. If you're new to Apple computers and like to shoot movies, then this book is a must have! Read More Rating: - Thorough intro guide for making movies, DVDsApple overhauled iMovie for its "2008" release (actually revealed in 2007), and Jeff Carlson did the same for his book.

But Jeff's book helped me sort it out. iMovie '08 also doesn't play very nicely with iDVD '08, and Jeff's book provides the necessary missing information (Apple left it out) for better using the two programs together. ... Read More Rating: - An excellent guide to getting started with iMovieI do almost no video editing, but when I had to dive into iMovie recently, Jeff's book was a big help. The Visual QuickStart Guide approach of explaining a single task per page, with steps accompanied by screenshots, was just what I needed to import a movie taken from my digital camera, superimpose a title, add some scrolling credits at the end, and publish it to my .Mac Web Gallery. Sure, that may sound like simple stuff, but when you've never used a program before, it's helpful to have explanations ... Read More Rating: - Another great Visual QuickStart GuidePeachpit's Visual QuickStart Guide series is one of the best how-to series out there for beginning to intermediate computer users. In this book, the author does a great job of explaining the basics of video, giving readers a solid base of information for what follows. From there, he explains how to create your own movies and DVDs using the two video components of Apple's iLife '08 software package. While most of the book sticks to the step-by-step approach that's part of the Visual QuickStart ... Read More |
