Complete Idiot's Guide to iMovie 2
- Book Review, by Brad Miser

Book Description

From the Author
From the moment I saw iMovie, I knew that Apple had done it again; iMovie provides an ideal balance of power and ease-of-use. It empowers all of us to create interesting and fun video projects. However, as great as it is, iMovie requires a different way of working and involves concepts and tools that many people may not understand immediately. And iMovie is so compelling that people want to start creating with it right away. Thus, I saw an opportunity to help people learn to make the most of iMovie as quickly and as simply as possible, the result being The Complete Idiots Guide to iMovie 2. In addition to a solid iMovie foundation, I believe that making really interesting movies requires "outside" influences, those being primarily the fundamentals of good movie-making techniques. I also wanted to help people understand and use other elements of their digital movie studio such as QuickTime, a digital camcorder, and so on. Since iMovie is such a fun application to use, I knew that any book on the topic should be as fun as the application is. Thus, I designed The Complete Idiots Guide to iMovie 2 to live up to its title; it is a complete guide for creating great movies with iMovie 2 that's written for people who want to unleash their creativity and have fun while doing it!
