Logical Progression - 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.
daunting book , not so great - 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.
