Exploring Digital Video Software on the Mac

No other book on the market so comprehensively evaluates Apple\'s entire digital video (DV) software line?and the Mac?s. role in the field of DV editing ? as this insightful new work from author and DV pro Lisa Rysinger. Exploring Digital Video Software on the Mac covers all the essential aspects of creating and editing digital video on the Macintosh computer platform, digging into basic DV principles and fundamental technologies like FireWire, QuickTime, and Apple\'s SuperDrive. Readers are systematically introduced to the elements common to all digital video software--- as well as the specific capabilities of each program--- so that they can successfully capture, edit, and output digital video on the Mac. The author examines Apple DV software applications, including QuickTime Pro, iMovie, iDVD, Final Cut Express, Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro, and motion. A back-of-book DVD with step-by-step tutorials provides a valuable visual compliment to the book\'s contents.
