Computer Arts Magazine, DV Special
Verdict: 5 out of 5 Stars
If you are looking for one book that will give you a complete overview of each of Final Cut Pro 3's tools, then this is certainly it. Each time you open Final Cut Pro, make sure this book is close at hand
Roger Richards, The Digital Filmmaker
Unlike all the other FCP guides I have seen, which mostly read like scientific manuals, this book uses color photos and illustrations to full effect. The result is an easy to navigate and understand reference manual.
[This book] is the best-looking, best-illustrated and offers very detailed info. If you are new to Final Cut Pro, spend the extra money and get this book. If you are an intermediate/advanced user, it should find a useful place in your FCP reference library.
Jed Davis, Amazon.com Review
[This book] is written with care and a love for the art of film making. It is so thorough yet so understandable. And the layout is incredible. An outstanding job from authors who live and love their Craft.
Asif Ahmed, Amazon.com Review
The books design, full color illustrations and easy to read examples are perfect for even a five minute lesson or refresher course.
John Mandes, Amazon.com Review
The content of this book is only surpassed by the excellent execution of its design.
Ken Stone, The Ken Stone Index
[This book's] strength comes from the excellent layout along with the full color printing.

...the authors did an excellent job explaining the program for new users and those who are still on FCP2 as well.
