A must for all digital video enthusiasts.

I just started getting involved with Digital Video after I recieved a new Digital VideoCam few months ago. I was seeking a good book for tips and techniques. Your book was well written and helped me understand 'how to do' and create great videos. This book is a must from beginners to intermediate users. It explains the full process of digital video production. I enjoy the 'tips' and 'try this' features. It is easy enought for everyone to understand and start creating good videos.

Thinking of Digital video? This is the book to get.

This is a great book for anyone from beginner to novice level wanting to know more about Digital Video. This book is well laid out and flows from picking a video format to purchasing the right camera, editing the video and finally playing the video back on different devices. I rate myself a Novice user and I found many things that were new to me. The few bucks you would pay for this book pales in comparison to the hundreds or thousands of dollars you could spend on this technology and get the wrong setup. This book set my mind at ease by pointing me in the right direction for editing software. If you are in the market to record, edit and distribute Digital video, this book is worth it. I am trying to get proficient with this format because I plan to have children in the near future and would want to share all the moments with my family that is scattered all over the globe. Talk about a great christmas present for grand parents!! Get the book. You wont be sorry.
