Product Description
Product Description
If you've been avoiding high-definition video because in order to edit it, you would have had to purchase a secondary card (not to mention an HD TV to view it on), you can finally hop on the HD bandwagon. With Final Cut Pro HD, you can now import, edit, and export HD video over FireWire--no extra hardware or media conversion required! Knowing you won't want to waste a second getting up to speed on it, video pro Lisa Brenneis has completely updated her best-selling guide on the topic. In this task-based guide, step-by-step instructions combine with loads of visual aids and time-saving tips to move you quickly through Final Cut Pro basics and on to more advanced topics like creating transitions and motion effects, and filter and rendering options. In the process, you'll learn about all of the program's most important features, including those new to HD: real-time color correction, the ability to toggle between full-resolution, high-quality playback or preview mode, and more!

Really good way to start learning the programme and I kept dipping into it (still do) for ages after I was up and running.
Format:Paperback
This book should be used like a tutorial rather than a reference manual. If you want to learn how to use the software, or to brush up on things that you have forgotten, then this book is ideal.
I recommend it to all of my students as a starting point. It would be better marketed as a standard visual quickstart guide, rather than the specialist quickpro series.

Well, you can imagine a pretty impressive book like this would help you out a lot when your trying to learn the advanced basics of Final Cut Pro on Mac.
Well, That's where your right and wrong.
I can pretty much say, I've used the book to look up many different questions that I had, and it answered only a couple. I think the referencing is poor and it takes ages to find what your looking for in the book (if it's even there).
I was really disappointed.
I've learnt more from just sitting a couple of hours with it.
You should check out the apple pages for help with final cut.
Or google it. It ll probably help you a lot more than the book.
Try and find an alternative.
