4.0 out of 5 stars Really useful tutorials, December 9, 2007

By	Bakari "Wedding & Event Photographer, Mac User" (Sacramento, CA) - See all my reviews

I'm working through the tutorials of the online version of this video, and I must say that it seems to be a very thorough introduction to LiveType. The program is not that difficult to learn if you're an experienced Final Cut Express or Pro user, but there are hidden features that the author of this tutorial will show you how to use. The presentations are not too fast or too slow, and you can apply what you learn immediately to your own projects. Because there doesn't seem to be a book about LiveType, this video tutorial and the manual that comes installed with the program are the best best and only resources for learning LiveType.

1.0 out of 5 stars Ridiculous, July 17, 2008

By	J. Hartney - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon has asked me to write a review on a product that I have never received. I received the Live Type Essentials box with a Word 2003 Essentials training disk inside. When I called to return the item and receive the correct disk, they told me they did not have any more in stock. I am extremely disappointed and dissatisfied with amazon. They bounced me back and forth between amazon and the company that actually was supposed to have the product and no one could give me a clear answer. I finally just asked for my money back. What a major waste of time. Word to the wise, be careful on what you purchase...they may send you something completely different and give you the run around.
