When I bought my digital camcorder, I wanted to learn how to quickly get up to speed with Movie Maker so I could share my movies. This author really knows what he's talking about, and it made my life a whole lot easier. This is a "must buy" for anyone who wants to make their own movies in Windows!

Book price was outrageously high priced as it was out of print. Information not particularly new or helpful beyond what is provided by on-line searches. Sold on e-Bay for a fraction of my cost and I hope new buyer got what they paid for.

I used this book when I taught how to make movies at the High school and college level. It covers all you need to know, and is easy to read and follow. It covers lighting, framing, camera settings and yes hold it steady. It adds how to change or correct colors, focus, add music, e mail it and much more. It is very informative and easy to follow.Microsoft Windows Movie Maker for Dummies It is out of print now and general average in used book stores is about 25 to 30 dollars for a decent condition book.

The book was in perfect condition, offered at a good price, and arrived in a very timely manner, but the contents were not what I was expecting. I am a total beginner and I needed to learn about creating a DVD with only still pictures. This book mainly concerns videos. There is one tiny chapter on stills, and it isn't very helpful. Some of the information translates, but you can figure it out with the Help Menu rather than buying this book.
