If you're a film editor like I am, then you need to get this book.Book Review: Great Starter Guide!
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is great for both completely new users and users with basic knowledge of Final Cut Pro. The book is easy to understand, has lots of color screenshots on almost every page, and it's set up with lessons that build your skills in Final Cut Pro. The lessons have extensive detail and give you how-to projects. The projects simulate "real world" editing and the media on the DVD is from real television shows and films. Fantastic!
It's a nice supplement to the user manuals included with FCS2, it's well organized, it's printed on quality paper, it comes with a DVD that's chock full of media, and it's in color!
Four stars instead of Five because of the high price point (For the price, I wish they would have combined this book with "Apple Pro Training Series: Final Cut Pro 6 Beyond the Basics").
Book Review: Great book
Summary: 4 Stars
Apple Pro Training Series is a terrific book for the beginner or just someone like me trying to learn a different editing system. It comes complete with a DVD that holds the media and data you need to follow the book step-by-step fairly easily. Forget about buying it if you don't currently have Final Cut installed on your computer. The step-by step instructions would be useless. Another great plus is the 45 days you get to use an online version of the book. Very handy when you're on the road and want to leave the book at home and still practice. My only critique would be that sometimes it's a little slower than I'd like and lacks a chapter on more advanced editing. It could also use a removable card that has all the keyboard shortcuts needed. This book was a great help to me and well-worth the price.
