Making a Movie in iMovie and iDVD or Windows XP Simplified Service Pack 2nd Edition

Making a Movie in iMovie and iDVD: Visual QuickProject Guide (Visual Quickproject Guide Series)

Author: Jeff Carlson

If you're like many users, you may just now be figuring out what Apple may have neglected to mention: A built-in movie studio-in the form of the free iMovie and iDVD apps included in Mac OS X-does not a moviemaker make. This book, however, does! Realizing that you won't want to waste a single minute reading about all you can do with iMovie and iDVD, best-selling author Jeff Carlson cuts straight to the chase in this compact, low-priced volume, using simple project-based instruction and big, colorful screen shots to guide you through the process of making your first movie with iMovie and iDVD. By focusing on a single goal (making that first movie) rather than exploring every option and feature, Jeff demonstrates the quickest, easiest, smartest route to cinematic success. Each short lesson builds on the last as you learn how to shoot, edit, and produce your own movies and then distribute them on DVDs to share with friends, family, and colleagues.
