Publisher's Synopsis
Desktop Video or PC based Digital Video is regarded as the 'next big thing' for desktop computers in the consumer market. Following on from the adoption of personal computers for DTP and digital photography, desktop video offers the general consumer and hobbyist the opportunity to produce and edit 'mini epics' using standard hardware and simple software.
Desktop Video is already finding application for domestic and business use; it is likely to increase penetration and reach over the next two years to the point where it vies with digital photography. Internet use also provides opportunties for desktop video.
This book places its emphasis on understanding and gaining hands-on experience. It includes a colour plate section comprising photographs, screengrabs and diagrams.
