The Ultimate Guide to Digital Video
For anyone wanting to learn how to film, produce video in digital format as well as conventional sources, this is the ultimate reference guide. It takes you through every step. From purchasing the right equipment even on a budget, tips on how to produce the perfect video and sound through to editing, encoding and delivery. Not only it is a must for beginners but an excellent source to professionals as the detailed information and recourses contained are second to none.

The book is divided into compressive chapters, which are very easy to follow and are written in plain English. Diagrams and pictures take you through all the necessary steps. Although the title "Digital Movies with QuickTime" falls short, yes the use of QT video is explained in great detail but also the use of other programs like iMovie, Final Cut Pro and Abobe Premiere as also perfectly explained. There is also the added bonus of Terrain Cleaner, which lets you export to other formats like Real Media, Windows Media as well as CD, VCD and DVD delivery.

The book includes aa CD with step by step references and examples. Personally I didn't get to use it as not being a beginner, I could relate to most of the explanations given just on the book. The author even goes to the extreme on teaching you how to do a professional film production, how to budget, hire actors, etc.

I strongly recommend this book, it's very well written, easy to follow and totally up to date.
