5.0 out of 5 stars
Top Notch
All those nagging encoding questions about what GOP structure to use, what's the difference between "best" and "better" motion estimation, etc are answered here once and for all. This is an excellent resource well worth the 25.00 price of admission. It will pay for itself with increased production quality and productivity. Thank you Brian Gary!

Not particularly useful; just use the manual
It's not particularly useful and too expensive given how short it is. A book that calls itself a "quick reference guide" should be able to deliver the basics to get you up and running, as well as the most important trouble-shooting issues. This does not deliver. Save your money and read the manual, it's just as useful and it's free. Very disappointing, I...

Very disappointing, I own several of the Peachpit Apple Pro Training series and they are all much better than this.

Fantastic book on Compressor!,
By M.G. Dawson (Indiana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Apple Pro Training Series: Compressor 3 Quick-Reference Guide (Paperback)
An easy read, I read through this reference guide over the course of 2 days. When complete I dove into Compressor and am now considered our production company's expert in it. It actually saved us over $1000 when I discovered through reading the book that Compressor can handle Reverse Telecine, making renting a HDCam deck for a specific job unnecessary. I highly recommend this book. I first heard about it when I saw the author on the MacBreak TV podcast.

Quick Note,

This review is from: Apple Pro Training Series: Compressor 3 Quick-Reference Guide (Paperback)
The Apple Pro Training Series Books i'm familiar with (FCP, Motion, Desktop, etc) are 500+ pages and have a content DVD. This book is around 200 pages and does not have a content DVD.
A great resource regardless. |
