Now the best-selling book on DVD Studio Pro is even better. Updated for DVD Studio Pro 4.2, this Apple-certified book uses striking, real-world footage (including the HD documentary One-Six-Right) to build four complete DVDs. This revised edition covers integration with Final Cut Pro 6,  Motion 3, and Compressor 3, as well as the new SD-to-HD workflow. Each chapter presents a lesson in an aspect of DVD creation and finishing, with hands-on projects for you to complete as you go. After learning how to storyboard your DVD and plan its interactions, you’ll set chapter markers, create stories, build still and motion menus, and add overlays and subtitles. You’ll also learn to work with multiple audio tracks and camera angles, create smart buttons and custom transitions, professionally encode audio and video files, and create useful scripts.

Best-selling, Apple-certified book on DVD Studio Pro offers project-based training with real-world projects and examples.

  • New edition of the market-leading best-seller has been completely revised and updated with all-new projects.  
  • Each chapter presents a complete lesson in an aspect of DVD creation—with step-by-step instructions, detailed screen shots, and end-of-chapter reviews.
  • Readers create three full DVDs—including a DVD for an Oscar-nominated documentary—as they work through the book’s lesson and media files.
