Worth it for newbies 24 July 2009
By M. Sear
Format:Paperback
I liked this book. As a new user of the software it was a good intro for me. I'm probably not a heavy enough user of the software to get the best out of it though, there is definately a lot more depth in here than I needed. So in summary - great beginners guide with potential for more use by professionals. Worth the money.

Brief but Best! 13 Jun 2008
By Henry D. - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Rick Young's Final Cut Express guide is the best I've found, and I've checked out half a dozen. His breezy, informative style is simple, clear and comfortable. Text is profusely illustrated with specific, detailed graphics shown nearby, often within the same paragraph, which greatly enhances learning.
As a novice to this particular nonlinear video editing system, with a background in others, I found the book of great value. While I wish Mr. Young would offer an updated edition covering FCE's recent advances, I think the book is a better guide to the basics -- four years later -- than current books I've seen. I recommend it to video editors of any experience levels who want to learn Apple's Final Cut Express.

Best Little Book on Using Final Cut 20 Sep 2009
By John Possumato - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
While there are certainly longer, more detailed books on how to use Final Cut, as a new user I found this little book the most helpful, and, indeed, easy to use. If you buy only one book for the basics on Final Cut, this is the one to buy!
