Best of Breed book

Great for novices wanting to make their first iMovie (that was me) to those people wanting answers that don't come up until you start to really dig into iMovie and want more, more more (that is me now). I spent an hour reviewing 4 versions at the bookstore, took this home, and think it's great. Very simple, very short, very much to the point, this is a great reference as well as a beginning tutorial. So, it has depth, clarity, and brevity, admirable qualities all. iMovie seems a very simple application (with a wonderfully simple interface) but there are a lot of neat tips and tricks to create very cool movies, videos, whatever. Cheers, BilFish

Lots of good stuff in a thin book

I have read this and the "iMovie 2: The Missing Manual". I like the Visual Quickstart Guide a bit better because it is very concise but not lacking in information (true of the series).The thing with iMovie is that is seems like it should do more than it seems. While some of the techniques are not obvious, there are few of these (most presented in this book) that will definetly get your movies going. Get this book and look in the internet for additional sources of information.
