Movie Maker2 by Jan Ozer is An Excellent Book., March 7, 2008
By Ervin E. Harmon (Tarpon Springs,Fl USA)
Movie Maker2 by Jan Ozer is An Excellent Book. I,like most people,have Windows Movie Maker on my computer so I wanted a book that would help me do good book promotion video's and understand the program better. This book does everything I hoped for and I am glad I purchased this book and every since I purchased it I use it at least once a week to make sure I am doing things right and also to see if the book suggests doing something different that will result in a better video. My video can be seen on my web-sites and places like Google and Yahoo. Look for ErvHarmon
Video's

Thank you Jan Ozer for writing this book as it has helped me very much and I gladly recommend it to anyone that wants good results from Windows Movie Maker2



It Told Me What I Wanted to Know, February 26, 2008
By John K. Hayes (Espanola, NM USA)
I wanted to know how I could take video from my camera, edit it, create a video and store it on a CD. This book did exactly that in a no-brainer manner. The book showed the Window's screens and what you had to do at each screen. The only minor problem is that the screens are different for different versions of Windows.



Did You Know that Microsoft Windows XP has FREE ability to make Narrated Powerpoint Presentations?, November 20, 2007
By John Schinter (Chicago, IL)
I didn't know - and this book showed me how to use it. It is so easy to create a narrated powerpoint presentation, and give you the ability to distribute as needed.

I cannot believe how easy it is to create movies using my video camera, and even better, the softare is FREE (Look in your "START " to find it.

This book could NOT make it easier to take full use of the program.

I lead a business unit and now pre-record and narrate all of my powerpoint presentations, which has eliminated the need to give multiple presentations on the same topic. This has reduced my travel, time needed to present multiple times, etc.

I looked at a number of other books on the Microsoft software package, and this one is the easiest to use by far. YOU WILL BE AN EXPERT AT CREATING VIDEO BLOGS OR NARRATED POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS IN LESS THAN A FEW HOURS using this book.



Great Video Resource Guide, September 2, 2007
By D. McCrorey (Santa Clara, CA United States)
Jan Ozer's book was a great find for me. I needed to quickly edit digital interviews using Movie Maker 2 and this book gave me everything I needed (and more)! I jumped right in reading the chapters I needed--I'll save the "other stuff" for another day.

This is an excellent resource tool for my book shelf. I really like how the author took his own personal project and walked me through it from beginning to end, offering process and tips along the way.

I edited a professional looking video for the web--not bad for a first project!
