PapaJohn's Movie Maker 2 and Photo Story Newsletter |
John "PapaJohn" Buechler, Microsoft MVP and author of Windows Movie Maker books has updated
the subscription plan for his newsletter.
Here's what PapaJohn had to say -
"Not everyone wants or needs the latest issue as it's released, and many won't subscribe if it
isn't free. Issue #26, the half-year anniversary of the publication, will mark the end of the free
subscription issues. Beyond that, the annual subscription fee is $20. But all issues will continue
to be archived online and freely available to everyone".

PapaJohn produces a fantastic newsletter and I recommend a subscription for any digital media
enthusiast.

Easy Home Movies - See it done... Do it yourself. |
Jake Ludington, Microsoft Digital Media MVP and Author, has written a visual guide to using
Windows Movie Maker and Sonic MyDVD for creating home movies with Windows XP. The companion CD includes
Movie Maker 2, an audio editing app, and PapaJohn's TransitionMaker 2.
Book Description - With a digital camcorder, Windows XP, and Easy Digital Home
Movies, any user can be making movies or DVD's in a matter of hours.
Consumer digital video cameras are available for prices starting below $300, and Windows XP includes
a full-featured non-linear video editing application, Movie Maker 2. These two significant developments
in consumer digital media mean home movie making is available to virtually everyone with a DV camera
and a computer.
While Windows XP does offer users a great application for editing home movies, it doesn't
come with a clear explanation of how to do it. This book provides detailed instruction on how to
capture and edit home movies using Windows Movie Maker 2. In addition to the editing process, the
book demonstrates how to e-mail movies, stream movies on the Web, and transfer movies to DVD for
archiving and later viewing.
