Essential Companion to iMovie 3 - By: Archie R. Reid, 29 Jul 2003
As Erica says "iMovie can do a lot more than you might ever expect from a free product"
Having spent a lifetime editing film & then video by the traditional methods I found computer editing with iMovie both a revelation & a revolution. You can use it as an easy way to put together family & holiday videos but as this book shows it has hidden power to alllow you to make high quality productions.

Written in a clear & authoritative but friendly style it provides step by step guides to accomplish a wide range of visual & audio effects. The author comes up with a set of solutions based on her own practical experience. This is a hands on book written by someone who enjoys the challlenge of pushing iMovie to the limits.

You can read it cover to cover & be impressed by the attractive layout & use of colour but keep it within reach of the Mac ready to provide the answer for any new effect you want to create not only with iMovie but also with Quicktime. As a generous extra there is a disc full of plug ins & other helpful software - some of it written speciallly by the author & not available elsewhere.

Erica's first book about iMovie helped me rescue a major project which had refused to open from the hard disc & the this one has a wealth of new material on how to exploit the added features in iMovie 3 & solve some of the issues it raises. If you use the software this book is essential to fully exploit iMovie 3
