Ninty-nine percent of the time I find what I need in this exceedingly well organized book. I even skim though it in spare moments to pick up more ideas. Final Cut Pro is an excellent program with lots of flexibility. Why Apple doesn't do this well on a manual I'll never know. Thank you Lisa Brenneis!

This really is a book for people who are already familiar with video editing. since I already knew AVID, this was an excellent book because it just told me what I needed to do in order to operate the program. I would have liked an index of the Final Cut Pro effects, as they are extensive. This book is much better than most AVID books, by the way.

Excellent book - Apple's manual is totally backward with most of its information. Brenneis got it all right - a must have book... mine's been dog-ear'd since November!

Final Cut Pro - Visual Quickpro is well organized and easy to read. It's organized as a reference book, so it's easy to get help while I'm working with the program. Great job.

Tells you where everything is... Good book to help editors get used to a new layout.. good stuff!

I teach Final Cut Pro at United Digital Artists (UDA.com) in New York City and this is the book that we give to all of our students. It is an excellent reference guide and by my side when I edit.

BUT

Final Cut Pro 2.0 has just been released and it comes with a 1400 page manual. I look forward to Lisa's revision.

This book cuts into the heart of the program. Lisa deals with each segment of the program in a clear and concise manner. Unlike the manual, this book is easy to follow and a great guide to refer to while editing on your Mac. A must for anybody starting to use the great program.

...if you don't get this book. Final Cut is a VERY comprehensive program so if you want to get started right away, get this book. Very well organized so you can find just what you need and very well written so you can make it all work.

The Final Cut Pro Visual Quickpro guide is well organized, and the instructions are clear and easy to follow. I got at least 5 usable ideas from browsing my copy, and I refer to it while I'm using the program. Great job.
