Book Reviews of Final Cut Express 4 Editing Workshop
Book Review: 2 days and counting
Summary: 5 Stars
I received the book 2 days ago and have completed first two chapters. I am through the basics of the browser, viewer, canvas and the time line.
I am new with Final Express and I think the approach taken will benefit me.
The text is large enough to read and the graphic/screen shots are large enough so you can see them without a magnifying glass.
I am reading the book and following along on the computer.
I had purchased another book but it was too advanced for a beginner like myself. Hopefully after reading this book I can return to the more complicated book and pick up where I left off.
Book Review: A very useful book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very useful book for anyone learning the program. Video editing, particularly titling and animation, can be detailed and laborious. The writer--an experienced editor--takes you through the process step-by-step in contrast to manuals that merely describe a program's functions.
The accompanying CD has hands-on lessons for every chapter, so the reader can actually experience what the writer describes. Invaluable. Final Cut, even the express version, offers many video capabilities for both amateur and professional. This book shortens the learning process and brings you up-to-speed quickly.
Book Review: Easy Step-by-Step Education
Summary: 5 Stars
Tom Wolsky is very deliberate but thorough in explaining the operation of FCE 4, so it's easy to follow with him as he walks through all the features, the setup and the interface of FCE. Apple has given us an impressive piece of editing software, but as with all software, you need to know where to go to get what you want done. This book makes that process less confusing, and offers helpful video clips to let you practice what you learn. Of all the books that claim to teach you skills for FCE, I would definitely recommend this one.Book Review: A GREAT Book!

Final Cut Express 4 Editing Workshop
I am new to Final Cut Express, and moving from iMovie is quite intimidating to say the least! I cannot imagine jumping into FCE without having Mr. Wolsky's book. I've followed each and every in-depth dvd tutorial in the book and it has been a lifesaver. The book is so well written and easy to follow and very detailed.
I definitely recommend this book to anyone who is interested in FCE.
Book Review: Step By Step...anyone can learn to use this program
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had the program on my computer for months now. I was completely overwhelmed by it and figured I might never use it. I had the book but wasn't really ready to take on the task of learning the program. Today I sat down with this book, went page by page (I am only to page 36 now) and I totally get it. Using the book, I could go baby step by baby step to learn the program. I now have renewed confidence and I am ready to take this on! Great book for even the most novice of novices! I highly recommend it!
