Summary: If you have FCP, you must have this book.
Comment: When I think about this book, I inevitably end up thinking about where I'd be without it: Lost. Last year when I first got FCP I tried to read the revised, but still cumbersome 1000+ page compellation of instruction booklets. Needless to say, I got about 20 pages into: What's new in FCP? Before I made the conclusion that I'd need help. First, I tried going on forums (2pop.com amongst others) with minimal success. Finally, I came across this book, after a last ditch effort to try another instruction book. When the book came in about a week later, I was extremely surprised about how easy it was to read. It was like he was a mind reader, every question I had he answered.
In a nutshell: I'd probably still be trying to figure out how to overwrite a clip or, at best, be learning the transitions if not for this book. If you're a beginner and you're looking for the right book to guide you along the narrow path that is FCP, seek no longer; this is the solution you've been waiting for.

Summary: More than a how-to, a course in editing theory and aesthetic
Comment: I buy software tutorial books for something more, and Tom Wolsky's book on Final Cut Pro is a marvel. If you're new to video editing, you can use the tutorial footage provided and play along, lesson by lesson. But unlike, say, Adobe Classroom in a Book books (which I like very much), Tom uses sidebar bits to go far beyond the nuts and bolts and give you the tools to make editing decisions that will make your work... work. There is an art to editing, and with all the accessible tools and programs and software out there, Tom's instruction lets you rise above the crowd with finished videos that are elegant and communicate better than if you just competently assembled a story. If you are an experienced editor, the book is organized and indexed so that you can easily find tricks, tips and advice that you need. But if you're like me, you will find yourself reading the in-depth background sidebars and discovering that your understanding of post-production skyrockets.

Summary: In five minutes I learned a great deal.
Comment: I have browsed many FCP guides and after spending five minutes with this one I found quite a few useful things I could not easily find in other books. That is why I am ordering it today. I'm not sure I will run all the editing workshops witht he suppied clips, but I think many will be useful.
