I Like The Visual Guide Format for Learning Software
16 Sep 2005
Format:Paperback
The folks that do the Visual QuickPro Guides have developed an interesting format that they use for computer books. Basically each page has two columns. The outside column has the text that describes what is being done on that page. The column near the gutter of the book is used for screen shots that show what the screen should look like as you do the procedure described on the outside column. This philosophy is combined with an excellent index and table of contents to enable you to quickly find what you want to do.
As such, you can read the book straight through like a tutorial, or you can go directly to the part you need like a reference book. It's a book design that successfully combines the two book types.
Although beginning level users can get a lot out of this book, it will be a big help if you have at least a bit of basic video editing experience. Final Cut is a professional level program. A little work with iMovie first might be a big help.

An invaluable reference!

Lisa Brenneis has done it again! This book is a great primer and a very thorough reference source. I studied it for several days before taking a course in Final Cut Pro and went into the class better prepared than I would have been without this book.
I'm sure I'll find more occasions to look through it. Kudos, Lisa, and thanks!

Compehensive and More

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Lisa wirtes one of the most (if not the best) comprehensive books about Final Cut Pro enabling almost anyone to "get it" when even the Apple Manuals and on line help do not. I had her version 4 book and now the version 5 book. I only hope she updatesit for version 6, 7, 8, 9 etc, that Apple most assuredly will continue to release.
