iMovie2: The Missing Manual
by David Pogue
iMovie 2: The Missing Manual is a book that covers every step of iMovie video production, from choosing and using a digital camcorder to burning the finished work onto CDs. Far deeper and more detailed than the meager set of online help screens included with iMovie, the book helps iMovie 2 users realize the software's potential as a breakthrough in reducing the cost, complexity, and difficulty of desktop video production.
