Videomaker Guide to Digital Video and DVD Production

Rating:
Summary: Good reference book from a great magazine
Review: I've been a fan and subscriber of Videomaker magazine for years and this book is an excellent compilation of recent articles and how-to's on all aspects of video production. I like that they have added information on DVD authoring to this edition, too. My only criticism is that it would be much better if it was illustrated in four color rather than black and white.

Summary: Excellent quick reference!
Review: The book is divided into 70+ short articles which makes it very easy to read. One can quickly jump to a subject of his interest.. ranging from pre-production, lighting and sound, camera and directing techniques, desktop editing, etc. A lot of valuable tips and tricks provided.

There is a "sidebar" section in most every article where some real-life examples are given.

In terms of post-production, it is suitable for people using Adobe Premiere and Final Cut Pro.
