Easy Guide to Final Cut Pro 3 Reviews

The Easy Guide to Final Cut Pro is very much a 'handbook', a 'primer' if you will. Short, clear and to the point. It provides an excellent quick introduction into FCP editing. It will get you up and running on FCP in short order.
Ken Stone (www.kenstone.net), Los Angeles FCP user group

... this book is a must... for the advanced user and novice editor alike.
Peter Hall, Editor of Media 100

Your book is terrific! I've read it from cover to cover and only wished I had bought it before I attempted anything on FCP.
Peter Demetris, television director

It's made Final Cut Pro so much easier
Gary Williams, Video Producer


It's like a bible that sits on top of my G4
George Robertson, Independent filmmaker

I bought a number of books on using final cut pro and found this book to be the clearest, best-written of them all. When I have questions, I always turn to this book first. It's a fairly short book (130 pages), but it's all great info with very good images.
Online bookshop customer review, 8 June 2003

If you have just purchased Final Cut Pro 3 and don't fancy wading through the three manuals that came with it, then this book will come as a pleasant surprise.
