If you use iMovie you need this book and the software that it allows you to download from Pogue's Web site.
Users simply drag each clip into a storyboard below to paste together an edited final film.
The book offers instant access to tricks like continuing the sound track from one clip as voiceover to a second one as it fades in, a favorite of the pros but nearly impossible to accomplish without Pogue's handholding. He also devotes attention to coaching users on how to implement the special effects and transitions built into iMovie2, covering things like creating slow motion clips, reversing the play of a clip or whole film, importing MP3 music files for soundtracks and burning finished movies on CDs or even DVDs. A welcome highlight is Pogue's opening segment, where he shares a number of simple but effective film shooting tips, like using an old wheelchair on which to mount the camera for Hollywood-style tracking shots.
