iMovie 6 & iDVD: The Missing Manual
While the last version of iMovie gave moviemakers the
ability to capture and edit widescreen High Definition Video
(HDV) from the new generation of camcorders, iMovie 6 is all
about the ease of moviemaking itself. iMovie 6 includes five
professionally designed themes with backgrounds, motion
graphics, titles, and effects that
act as building blocks
for your projects. You can preview transitions and stunning
new video effects--such as time-lapse video--in real time
using the full screen. Or edit audio and add sound effects
with a new built-in sound studio. For presenting your movie,
Magic iDVD offers easy-to-use themes, including new
widescreen options.
Whether you're a professional or an amateur moviemaker, this
is amazing stuff. But if you want to learn the full
capabilities of these applications, Apple documentation
won't make the cut. Instead, iMovie 6 & iDVD: The Missing
Manual is the ideal third-party authority that covers all of
these changes through an objective lens. This witty and
entertaining guide from celebrated author David Pogue
details every step of iMovie 6 and iDVD production. The book
shows you 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 soundtrack
And a whole lot more
From choosing and using a digital camcorder to burning the
finished work onto DVDs, posting it online, or downloading
it to an iPod, iMovie 6 & iDVD: The Missing Manual zooms
right in on the details in a clear, 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.
