Acknowledgments

The Missing Manual series is a joint venture between Pogue Press (the dream team introduced on these pages) and O’Reilly Media (a dream publishing partner).

A special group did great favors for this project: Jim Kanter and Irene Lusztig were my video gurus and technical editors for the book’s first edition, whose hearts beat on in this one. (Jim also wrote some terrific sidebars about video equipment.) Arwen O’Reilly, Doug Graham, Charles Petzold, Phil Lefebvre, Michael Krein, Charles Wiltgen, Sony’s Yolanda Hunt-Boes, and the members of the Mac DV discussion list (http://www.themacintoshguy.com) all pitched in with small favors and info-bits. Tim Franklin expertly drafted Chapter 13.

Glenn Reid, iMovie’s original lead programmer, agreed to serve as technical editor for the second and third editions of this book. For this edition, iMovie product manager Paul Towner and his team shared their expert advice, answers, and—most importantly—their enthusiasm for the project. I’m also grateful to David Rogelberg, my agent.

Finally, thanks to Kelly, Tia, and Jeffrey, my favorite iMovie stars, and my wife, Jennifer, who made this book—and everything else—possible.
