Product Description
When it created iMovie in 1999, Apple Computer made digital video editing almost as easy as using a word processor–and even less expensive. Now Apple takes the revolution to the next level with the dramatically enhanced iMovie 2.0. The new software adds the option of inserting new video over a continuous audio track; removes limitations on the number of raw clips from which to choose scenes; and offers further bonuses such as special effects, brightness and contra… More >>

The idea of this book and its title made me curious. I didn’t
get it because I didn’t know about filmmaking used in digital work.
I wondered if it would bring information into my folder that
would further benefit what I already know. It has; it has clarified
for me how Apple has made good use of its knowledge of its customers
by allowing this outside contractor to create a book called “…The Missing
Manual.” Thank you.

This IMovie2 book goes into more depth than others. It not only provides the how-to of iMovie production, but it also goes into some of the theoritical points of digital editing. I also liked the references to related websites. This is not a Dummies type of book. It requires a little more reading, so it would make a great companion volume to a Dummies iMovie2.

With this book and no experience I started editing my first DV movie. The book was with me all the way. Importing, Editing, Sound, Titles & Exporting (Even some good info on how to shoot and what cameras to shoot with). When iMovie kept crashing trying to export my movie to the camcorder the book offered tips and tricks that got the job done. When I say I couldn’t have done it without ya it’s no joke it’s the truth.
Make your first experience with iMovie a fun one, buy this book.

Everyone pointed out how useful this book is and I agree. It had great technique tips as well as excellent information about using the program. But what really made it stand out was that, unlike most computer how-to books, Pogue has a great dry sense of humor that makes his examples memorable and lively. It was not just a dry reference manual — I had trouble putting it down.
