to thank my friends at Applein particular Patricia Montesionfor having a vision to enroll people in the digital lifestyle that meshes so well with my own, and for giving me the opportunity to speak directly to the people I want to reach with these media creation tools This revision wouldn't have been possible without my associate Lisa Strong-Aufhauser, a writer, videographer, and photographer of great talent and immense flexibility Thank you for all your support and great ideas Of course, the book was a collaboration with Peachpit Pressthanks to Nancy Ruenzel and Serena Herr for spearheading our efforts Thank you, too, for pulling together such a sharp and supportive team: my editors, Nancy Peterson and Kathy Simpson; copy editor Gail Nelson; technical reviewers Eric Geoffroy and Mark Spencer; compositor Chris Gillespie; and production coordinator Laurie Stewart I get a chill even trying to imagine pulling off this book on our radical schedule without the team we had While this book reaches into the side of my brain engrossed with things digital and media, it magically embraces the other side of my brainthe Petroglyph side Thanks to everyone at Petroglyph who tolerates my unusual projects: director of studios Richard Morse; Santa Cruz lounge manager Katy Pagni and her team, Rachel Hall and Heather Orr; our shareholders; and most important, all our staff and great customers, whose ceramics grace these pages and whose passions I hope we captured A special thanks to our stars: Chris Hosmer, Fearon Hosmer, Alex Hodgson, Michelle DiBartolomeo, Tess Doud, Lihi Benisty, and Steven Carrillo Finally, to my family, who encouraged me and supported the unprecedented pace of this book Jonah and Alina, you were too young to end up in these pages, but you are the most important people in my life And Jennifer Do you need words here to acknowledge your contribution to this work? The cofounder of Petroglyph, the creative force of our company, the mother of our children, thank you for playing yourself in these pages and for finally accepting credit for the wonderful business we built together This book is your book, too You're in each line and every picture I love you madly Index [A] [B] [C] [D] [E] [F] [G] [H] [I] [J] [K] [L] [M] [N] [O] [P] [Q] [R] [S] [T] [U] [V] [W] [Z] scale Scrubber bar scrubbing shaker loops Share exporting option, iDVD sharing items albums bound books importance of movies 2nd music options for photos in bound books photos in slideshows podcasts printed photos Sharing window shooting video [See also camera shots.] approaches to coverage 2nd 3rd determining what to shoot Hollywood-style techniques panning recording audio while shooting simple movie story structure and tilting shots [See camera shots.] slices [See also tracks.] slides [See also slideshows.] duration 2nd 3rd 4th 5th panning 2nd pausing 2nd 3rd transitions slideshows [See also dynamic slideshows;
