Book Reviews of iMovie '08 & iDVD: The Missing Manual
Book Review: Great for iMovie 06 and iDVD 08
Summary: 4 Stars
The great thing about this book is that it talks about the best times to use iMovie 06 (most of the time) instead of iMovie 08.
Basically, if you want to assemble short clips to post on the Internet use iMovie 08.
For longer projects or if you want the make a DVD use iMovie 06 with iDVD 08. (Apple includes iMovie 06 as a free download to iLife 08 owners.)
The book is an excellent resource for iDVD 08 and describes the seamless integration between iMovie 06 and iDVD 08.
You will never get the full benefit of iMovie and iDVD without this book. A good resource for users of iMovie 06, iMovie 08, and iDVD 08.
Book Review: How to really get to know iMovie & iDVD
Summary: 4 Stars
The regular iLife user manual with Mac laptop fails to help. this book gets you almost there for quirky techniques making movies. Even so, we had to read certain sections 5+ times to actually achieve the results described. It is correct, just the steps sometimes are for two different tasks rather than two steps for one task.
It would be nice for a shortcut pullout sheet to take with us while traveling. Otherwise, we have to take the whole book with us or make our own cheat sheet.
Still, no other book is as useful for making movies. We are still trying out various techniques and may have to say later.
Book Review: THE IMOVIE BIBLE
Summary: 4 Stars
This book was the difference between total frustration in learning how to use iMovie and iDVD and being able to create reasonably good results in a short period of time. One has to wonder why Apple left this job to someone outside the organization! I highly recommend it. Worth every penny if you are serious about creating imaginative product using your Mac.Book Review: Great Book
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great easy to understand book. The graphics help with the learning process and gives you simple step by step instructions. The book makes it easy to use the program while reviewing the pages without having to switch back and forth like the video tutorial. I just wish the author would produce the missing manual for Final Cut Express.Book Review: iMovie '08 & iDVD: The Missing Manual
Summary: 4 Stars
I found the manual to be very helpful and it answered some
questions for me that I had about iMovie that I hadn't found
anywhere else. I didn't like the answers, but it solved a long
ongoing problem I have had with using iMovie 08. The manual is easy
to read and follow, for even amateurs like me.
