Apple's iMovie '09 is vastly more usable and complete than iMovie '08. But the box doesn't include much of a user's guide, so learning these applications is another matter. This title helps to get you up to speed on various things you need to turn raw digital footage into highly creative video projects.
Bursting with new features, Apple's iMovie '09 is vastly more usable and complete than iMovie '08 -- amazing right out of the box. But the box doesn't include a good user's guide, so learning these applications is another matter. iMovie '09 and iDVD: The Missing Manual gets you up to speed on everything you need to turn raw digital footage into highly creative video projects.
You get crystal-clear, jargon-free explanations of iMovie's new video effects, slow & fast motion, advanced drag & drop, video stabilization, and more. Author and New York Times tech columnist David Pogue uses an objective lens to scrutinize every step of process, including how to:
* Organize your videos just like your photos, and precisely edit with ease
* Work on multiple iMovie projects at once and drag & drop clips among them
* Integrate with other iLife programs to use songs, photos, and an original sound track
* Output your creation to a blog, its own web page, or as a video podcast with iWeb
* Understand basic film techniques to improve the quality of the video you bring to iMovie
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 '09 & iDVD: The Missing Manual helps you zoom right in on the details.
