About the Book

When it created iMovie in 1999, Apple Computer made digital video editing almost as easy as using a word processor - and even less expensive. Built into most modern Macintosh models is the circuitry needed to record pro-quality video from a digital camcorder, and then send the edited movies back to TV or tape with zero picture-quality loss. Now Apple takes the revolution to the next level with the dramatically enhanced iMovie 2.0. The new software adds the option of inserting new video over a continuous audio track; removes limitations on the number of raw clips from which to choose scenes; and offers bonuses such as special effects and brightness and contrast adjustments, much greater typographical flexibility in its title- and credit-maker, and a far more useful and complete audio-track editor. But one thing hasn't changed: iMovie 2, though much more sophisticated than its predecessor, still doesn't come with a single page of printed instructions. This text aims to provide information far deeper and more detailed than the set of online help screens included with iMovie. The book helps iMovie users realize the software's potential as a breakthrough in the cost, complexity, and difficulty of desktop video production. Included is a technical review by Glenn Reid, architect and lead engineer of both iMovie and iMovie 2.
