Summary

So you've purchased a digital camcorder, hooked it up to your PC and now you're in business. You can download Jr.'s birthday party to your hard drive and show it to every unsuspecting friend that drops by. But what you really want to do is learn how to edit and manipulate your footage to create attractive videos. How to Use Digital Video teaches you the basic techniques, such as setting up a good shot, configuring your PC, re-arranging scenes, trimming out unnecessary footage, adding transitions, creating special effects, and even adding a soundtrack. Author Dave Johnson uses several real-world projects to show you how to implement the lessons he teaches. By the end of the book, you'll be able to create a polished home video, film for a Web page, a streaming video that could be used in a PowerPoint presentation, and a montage of still photos within a video.
