Book Reviews of The Focal Easy Guide to Final Cut Pro 6
Book Review: Great book on how to use great software!
Summary: 5 Stars
As a pro who's made quite a bit of money and some really polished projects with everything from Avid Media Composer to Media 100 to Final Cut Pro, I can personally attest to the value of this book. Having had a lot of experience with FCP, I've *still* gained valuable skills and insights in reading this book.
A previous 'review' from a 'Mr. Minter', who absurdly complains that he has to use a Mac, which he 'hates', in order to access this 'overrated' software, proving that he's in fact *underrating* Final Cut Pro is sadly typical of ignorant users who complain of imaginary obstructions to educating themselves. The fact that Final Cut Pro runs on a Mac is no accident, as the hardware extends the software's reach in unique fashion. This is just one aspect of Final Cut Pro that this book does a very nice job of distilling, in the service of engaging the reader, ALL the processes one needs to master in order to actually build an effective and compelling visual narrative. The author presents these processes in a logical, 'stepped' method, making the most of graphics and clearly and engagingly written descriptions of each process, and how each process interlocks with the next. You can get up and running fast, and learn to teach yourself through doing, using this book as a reference and a comprehensive resource. What more can you ask, short of a personal instructor visiting your studio?
