Summary: Not just a manual rehash!
Comment: Folks aspiring to write Final Cut Pro books are probably pretty intimidated by Apple's whopping 1400 page manual. "What's left to be said?" right? Tom Wolsky has found plenty to say and presents it with a clear, conversational style that's easy to follow. Lots of examples of how to accomplish specific effects, like the Brady Bunch opening. It takes a while to get started. I could have done without the first sections of how to get your camera to talk to your computer, for example. I would have left that to the manual since we all use different cameras and setups, etc. But once he gets going, he rolls. And I appreciate his frankness. He loves the program, obviously, but he's no Apple cheerleader and when he believes something could have/should have been better implemented, he'll tell you frankly. Book is highly recommended! Accompanying CD is very helpful!

Summary: The original workshop book for FCP!
Comment: I love this book. It's a robust mix of exercises and software how-to, unique among all the FCP books I've read. I'm very glad to have it in my library.

Summary: Unique coverage of FCP with candid comparisons
Comment: The author is candid in his discussion about editing with Final Cut Pro. The most valuable information to me was his numerious comparisons between FCP and other editing software. For example, he points out those areas where other programs might be stronger in certain areas than FCP and specifies those programs. I read the book cover to cover and continually refer back to it as a guide and inspiratoin when editing.
