Rank: 1350
The latest versions of iMovie HD and iDVD 5 are, by far, the most robust
moviemaking applications available to consumers today.
But whether you're
a professional or an amateur moviemaker eager to take advantage of the
full capabilities of these applications, don't count on Apple
documentation to make the cut. You need iMovie HD & iDVD 5: The Missing
Manual, the objective authority on iMovie HD and iDVD 5.Even if you
own a previous version of iMovie, the new feature-rich iMovie HD may well
be impossible to resist.
This video editing program now enables users to
capture and edit widescreen High Definition Video (HDV) from the new
generation of HDV camcorders, along with standard DV and the MPEG-4 video
format. iMovie HD also includes "Magic iMovie" for making finished movies
automatically.
The feature does everything in one step--imports video into
separate clips and adds titles, transitions, and music.
The finished video
is then ready for iDVD 5, which now includes 15 new themes with animated
drop zones that can display video clips across DVD menus, just like the
latest Hollywood DVDs. This witty and entertaining guide from celebrated
author David Pogue not only details every step of iMovie HD video
production--from choosing and using a digital camcorder to burning the
finished work onto DVDs--but provides a firm grounding in basic film
technique so that the quality of a video won't rely entirely on magic.
iMovie HD & iDVD 5: The Missing Manual includes expert
techniques and tricks for: - Capturing quality footage (including
tips on composition, lighting, and even special-event filming)
- Building your movie track, incorporating transitions and special
effects, and adding narration, music, and sound
- Working with
picture files and QuickTime movies
- Reaching your intended
audience by exporting to tape, transferring iMovie to QuickTime, burning
QuickTime-Movie CDs, and putting movies on the Web (and even on your cell
phone!)
- Using iDVD 5 to stylize and burn your DVD
creation
iMovie HD & iDVD 5: The Missing Manual--it's
your moviemaking-made-easy guide.
