IDIOTS GUIDE TO MAKING HOME VIDEOS
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
AS PROGRAM DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION FOR A LARGE METROPOLITAN NEW YORK COMPANY THIS BOOK IS ABSOLUTELY REQUIRED READING FOR EMPLOYEES DOING EDUCATIONAL TRAINING VIDEO RECORDING AND EDITING. IT IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND, COMPREHENSIVE AND THOPROUGH. I GIVE IT A FIVE STAR RATING.
Very helpful

I got this book as a birthday present from my uncle, since he knew that I didn't understand all of the functions on my videocamera. It's helped tremendously--a great basic guide.
Something for everyone

I got this book because the guy who sold me my video recorder recommended it. In it, I found everything I was looking for, plus some things that I probably wouldn't have thought of. Overall, very useful.
An easy, fast, and very helpful read

Idiots guide to making home movies was an incredible help for my husband and I. As complete novices, we needed a guide to assist us in making videos of our newborn baby girl. The book shows you how to actually edit your videos on your home computer. This is something I was extremely intimidated by, and I am so thankful that I can actually do these things now! Our friends think we're technical genuises...which is not the case at all! I recommend this book ten times over!
What a great book

I definitely recommend this book! I recently returned from a vacation with some friends, and we wanted to take our HOURS of videos and make them into something worth watching. The book taught us how to edit the videos down to a manageable size...basically, we cut out the boring stuff! I had never used a computer editing program before. If I could figure this stuff out, believe me--you can! :)
