Product Description

Bestselling author Jeff Carlson is back with a fully updated revision of the iMovie Visual QuickStart Guide. Completely overhauled for iMovie HD and iDVD 5, this book uses step-by-step instructions and loads of illustrations to get readers up to speed quickly in the process of making movies with iMovie and creating Hollywood-quality DVDs on which to share them (as well as photos, music, and more). First-time movie and DVD makers will find all the basics covered here--from shooting and capturing footage, viewing clips, and working in the iMovie timeline to dragging and dropping iMovies into new iDVD projects and adding GarageBand-created songs to their newly created DVDs. Readers will find coverage of both of the programs' niftiest new features, including iMovie's new HD compatibility, dozens of new video effects, sound effects, and transitions, more powerful editing features, and the new "Magic iMovie" feature, which automatically creates a simple iMovie for you with the existing footage in your camcorder. iDVD 5 offers 15 new Apple-designed themes and OneStep DVD, which exports a movie into a finished DVD automatically.

5.0 out of 5 stars iMovie HD & iDVD 5 for Mac OS X, August 1, 2005

By	Diane M. Armitage (Santa Fe, NM) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

Jeff Carlson's Visual Quickstart Guides for iMovie are the best software manuals I've ever used. I've been dipping into the Visual Quickstart Guides for a number of programs for 5 years and I find them easy to read, direct, and clear as a bell. It's a great series and for people who are slow learners like me, they're a pleasure. I also teach iMovie and this is the book I recommend to my students.

5.0 out of 5 stars IMOVIE HD and The Amature Professional, January 15, 2006

By	AlaskaMAC (Alaska) - See all my reviews

So Here I am once again everyone. Hello, this is Chris, and I first started my review project with my video camera, a JVC GDR-270 purchased at Best buy for $299 and iMovie HD, The missing manual, and started to record everything I saw. Using the camera was not difficult but iMovie HD was at first. When opening the application, seemed almost intuitive. But any assisted guidance sure helps in the production process. Having said this, I used the book as I did my work following the guided pictures. I imported my video and began my personal version of a Hollywood production studio (Watch it Warner or Paramount, I think I found my niche,) and edited my movie for final output. During the process, there are tools in iMovie HD that will help make your movie look a bit more professional. What is not there is someone to help in which the book did well. Using the iMovie HD help file can be tedious, and can be very time consuming going back and forth, but with this book in one hand and a mouse in the other, I simply glided through the pages very easily. From start to finish, it was easily explained. I had no problems finding out how to utilize the video from my DV cam. I could explain the process of using iMovie HD but that is a whole other review, my review is on the book and I am glad I did. iMovie HD, the missing manual was a well organized, color photo book with easy to use guides and tips. I am glad I had the opportunity to review it because without it, I would still be importing my video 30 days later. Following the book was easy. But it is lengthy, over 400 detailed pages to follow. But with enough patience, not only will you be able to use iMovie hd on the fly, you will be on your way to utilizing more professional applications like Final Cut express an Final Cut Pro.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Mac Success, August 18, 2006

By	Gerald S. Modena "lrvboss" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a vast improvement over previous versions. I can't wait to get six when it comes out. I volunteer at a local TV studio and we use iMovie to edit all of our productions. We are just learning Final Cut Pro, but iMovie is just as good.
