iMovie '11 & IDVD: The Missing Manual - Paperback

by David Pogue (Author), Aaron Miller (Author)

Apple's video-editing program is better than ever, but it still doesn't have a printed guide to help you get started. That's where this gorgeous, full-color book comes in. You get clear explanations of iMovie's impressive new features, like instant rendering, storyboarding, and one-step special effects. Experts David Pogue and Aaron Miller also give you a complete course in film editing and DVD design.

• Edit video like the pros. Import raw footage, add transitions, and use iMovie's newly restored, intuitive timeline editor.
• Create stunning trailers. Design Hollywood-style "Coming Attractions!" previews for your movies.
• Share your film. Distribute your movie in a variety of places--on smartphones, Apple TV, your own site, and with one-click exports to YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, CNN iReport, and MobileMe.
• Make DVDs. Design the menus, titles, and layout for your DVDs, and burn them to disc.

This book covers version 9 of Apple's iMovie software.
