Great guide for beginners  April 6, 2011

I have to admit that I was very impressed by the amount of information in this textbook, yet how easy it was to find exactly what I was looking for. As an intermediate editor, this textbook was a great resource that covered the basics as well as some things I had never tried before. While serious editors may want to lean toward the official guide by Apple, this is a great resource for those of us who just want a quick reference book for sticky situations, or just want to expand their knowledge without Apple certification.






Final Cut Pro 7 Visual QuickPro Guide: 4 out of 5 stars based on 1 user reviews.
