Title: Windows Movie Maker 2 Zero to Hero by Jen Dehaan, John Buechler, Jon Bounds ISBN: 1-59059-149-6 Publisher: APress Pub. Date: 31 July, 2003 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $24.99 |

Summary: Wish the Content we as Good as the Cover
Comment: I cannot honestly recommend this text to you. It is just a mess crammed full of material that is poorly organized.
We don't need to learn Movie Maker from scratch. It's a task-oriented program! Don't spend time telling me what the File menu is, tell me how to add a transition between two frames quickly!
I just don't think the approach in this book is useful for the true Movie Maker user. I'd look into a more general-purpose digital video book that focuses on Movie Maker 2 as the primary software to get the job done easily (such as Perry's Digital Video in a Snap (ISBN: 0672325691)).
Unlike a program such as Excel than an investor or financial planner will want to master in great detail, the Movie Maker user needs to know how to do select things at any one time depending on the job they have to do.

Summary: Fantastic for the DV beginner
Comment: I knew nothing about editting video when I got this book - I had a PC and a video camera, but no idea even how to plug them together. Like it says on the cover, "From scratch - fast". If you don't need to learn from scratch, then you'll have to skip bits of the book - but the hero projects are worth their weight in gold to any Movie Maker user.
I was surprised by the other review on this page complaining about the book "covering all the bases", so to speak - it's very clear that the book teaches you everything "from scratch" - that's what it's meant to do!
Rating: 4
Summary: too crammed, if anything
Comment: The other reviews make refference to how full of info this book is - and they're right it is full to bursting! So much so, in fact that sometimes you just pray for there to be a bit more white space on the pages. For an old feller like me a few more pages would have been easier on the eyes.
The book is very very good content-wise though, just wish it was a little lesss packed!
