Completely revised for Final Cut Pro 6 and featuring all-new footage, this best-selling, Apple-certified guide provides a strong foundation in all aspects of video editing. Renowned author Diana Weynand starts with basic video editing techniques and takes you all the way through Final Cut Pro?s powerful advanced features.

 well worth the money December 21, 2008
This book helped me make a completed, feature-length documentary!
THANK YOU DIANA WEYNAND!!
I had all the footage shot for a movie, but no idea how to use Final Cut Pro to edit it. I was a complete novice. Learning Final Cut Pro was a terrifying prospect, so I did a little research, bought this book, and humbled myself enough to follow its simple directions - DVD tutorial and all. And you know what? It worked. I'm not perfect at Final Cut Pro, but I sure learned enough to make a movie!
Hurrah!
Why couldn't all of life be so easy? (And cheap...)
great December 20, 2008
Great book. Easy. I take "one-on-One" classes at the Apple store and still, I learned a lot of tricks with this book. One lesson a day and doing the exercises on the computer following the book directions. Easy. A good brush of my knowledge to harden the foundations. I will start the 2nd book soon - 2nd level. And then the 3 books on Motion3. Thank you
Final Cut Pro 6 November 16, 2008
This is a Great Book. I am a First time User learning final Cut Pro 6. I give the book 5 stars due to the ease of teaching and the detailed methods and shortcuts. A must buy is keyboard shortcuts for final cut pro 6. This book will take you threw chapters step by step. You will have trouble using dvd only if you version FCP is below, 6.0.4. You must update first before use of dvd. If you have any trouble email me for further details. This book has images that co-exist with dvd. You will love this book and learn FCP like a pro. You will learn software according to how many hours you put in. This book is a full view of FCP, This is a must buy.
 Comprehensive and accessible October 21, 2008
As first tutorials go, what I like about this book is that you can start from scratch and learn most all of the details you need to become a certified user of Final Cut Pro. One of the best features about this book, is that it includes a DVD containing footage applicable to every lesson. This means, that you can not only follow the tutorial step-by-step with the examples in the book, but you have some really nice imagery to work with -- and you don't have to go out and shoot a lot of stuff yourself just to get started. The documentation included with the software might be even more comprehensive, but just lifting it is pretty intimidating -- so I didn't even want to think about slogging through it piece by piece.

Hey, very good stuff. However, I got it for a class then we changed our text books. So, I have not actually used it but it appears to be very useful.
