Format:Paperback
This book is writen by people who not only are the experts in FCP5 but also understand how quality learning should be structured. The book is split into chapters which provide a step by step instructions on the tasks set out. But what is most important it reassesses what you have learned at the end of each chapter. In addition it includes a world class footatge which you edit when going through the chapters.
This book is suitable both for beginners and and advanced users.

Well laid out and easy to follow a quality publication. Having moved up from Final Cut Express perhaps it was easier for me to get my head around but I am sure a new user will find this a must have. So impressed that I am now going to obtain Soundtrack Pro from the same publisher.

Format:Paperback
The footage is great and the book gets you to repeat exercises and moves again and again until it sinks in. However, I have found several instances where the information and guidelines don't match what actually happens, so that you end up second-guessing the advice given and finding your own workarounds to follow the steps. Surprised that no other reviews have pointed this out.

couldn't wait to get cracking with this book. Wanted to do a FCP course but had no time, so the last few nights I have worked through the book. Watch out Spielberg! Read more
