Synopses & Reviews
Final Cut Pro is a serious tool for serious (usually professional) editors-which means that if you're like most users, you already know the software's interface, are well-versed in editing basics, and are interested in just one thing: going as deep as possible with the software's tools and features. In Apple Pro Training Series: Advanced Editing and Finishing Techniques in Final Cut Pro HD 2ed, the post-production and training company, DigtalFilm Tree and award winning video editor Michael Wohl provide you with step-by-step instruction in all of the tasks real filmmakers are most interested in: color correction, advanced editing and effects, offline and online workflows, working with HD and more.
Each chapter in this self-paced, Apple-authorized guide represents a self-contained lesson-with a project to complete, a review section, and bonus exercises to reinforce what you've learned. The accompanying DVD includes lesson files and all the materials you'll need to complete the book's projects for a comprehensive course in Final Cut Pro.
