Editorial Review:
Editing videotape, once upon a time, was outside the range of what home-movie buffs could hope to do. Now that iMovie 2 is around, Macintosh users have a much better option. iMovie 2 for Dummies explains how late-model Mac, iMac and iBook computer users can download video from their camcorders to their computers via a FireWire multimedia link, then edit the raw footage for remarkably professional results. Todd Stauffer is a long-time Mac writer and he communicates the fun of making films on the Mac in this book.
As you would expect, iMovie 2 for Dummies does a super job of explaining how to accomplish tasks in the iMovie 2 environment--look for precise directions on adding titles, overlaying narration, chopping up audio clips and doing all the other technical work associated with assembling a film. The Dummies format emphasises text descriptions of what to do over the illustrations in the Visual QuickStart Guide series--both approaches are effective. Experienced film makers will appreciate the discussion of the iMovie interface; novices will like the ideas about how to make films more appealing and technically clean. --David Wall
