Reviews
I bought this book "iMovie 6 & iDVD: The Missing Manual" because I was learning how to use iMovie HD 6. I actually have iMovie '08 and I got the other book "iMovie '08 & iDVD: The Missing Manual" when I read in that book how iMovie HD 6 had more sophisticated features like the editing timeline and the ability to take plugins. iMovie '08 is so different from iMovie HD 6 that users complained about features that were missing in iMovie '08. Apple relented and provided a free download of iMovie HD 6 to those who had iMovie '08. However, when iMovie '09 was released, Apple then later removed their official iMovie HD 6 download because the newly released iMovie '09 included many of the features (but still no plugins) left out of iMovie '08 that users of iMovie HD 6 wanted. Well, I don't have iMovie '09, but only had iMovie '08. Although Apple removed their official download for iMovie HD 6 which I wanted, all I had to do is to use Google to search for the iMovieHD6.dmg file to find where other iMovie users had unofficially posted the file. So I downloaded the file and installed iMovie HD 6 on my Macbook. I had the editing timeline back that I was more used to when I was editing video under Windows. And I could do plugins. Yea! I'm using both iMovie HD 6 and iMovie '08 along with QuickTime by going back and forth with the video because each does something that the other one doesn't. Now as for this book, "iMovie 6 & iDVD: The Missing Manual," I ordered a "used" version of the book for $5 plus $3.99 S&H from an Amazon marketplace seller who was selling the book here on Amazon. I got the book very quickly and it looked really new. Yea! I got a good buy. Used books are great purchases here on Amazon. This is the third "Missing Manual" book that I've bought here on Amazon. These "Missing Manual" books are jam packed with information for those who need the "manual" for help when using software. Thanks for reading.
