Teach Yourself Digital Home Movie Making
by Peter Cope'Digital' is a term that is bandied around often by marketeers who see it as a synonym for 'cutting edge' and it now appears in almost every walk of life: digital radio, digital phones, digital cameras. Digital, in its most common, if clinical, meaning describes the way in which real world information -- such as sound, colour and light -- are converted into numeric form. When we talk about digital video the key distinguishing feature is its quality. A digital video signal -- such as that produced by a sensor in a digital camera -- doesn't suffer degradation in the same way as an analogue signal. A single frame of video will be more sharply defined than that from an equivalent analogue camera. Digital video really comes into its own when we start thinking about editing. The book teaches you everything related to Digital Home Movie Making.

Oliver Burkeman called this book "a place of stability and solid ground amid the rushing omnibuses". Full of fascinating and unexpected revelations, Teach Yourself To Live flips self-help on its head and provides a marvellous insight into the way we used to feel about life and how to live it.Since 1938, millions of people have learned to do the things they love with Teach Yourself. Welcome to the how-to guides that changed the modern world.
