Book description
Final Cut Pro X has literally rocked the film and video-editing
world by completely re-imagining the inherent concepts of nonlinear
editing. For many editors and users of the previous versions of
Final Cut Pro, it is like starting anew and learning a brand-new
program. Those experienced with previous versions of Final Cut and
other non-linear editors such as iMovie, Adobe Premiere Pro, and
Avid Media Composer already understand the basic concepts of
editing and are now looking for a quick guide to getting
started.
In this useful, cut-to-the-chase guide to the program, popular
trainer and Final Cut guru Larry Jordan takes these experienced
users through all the components of the software, from importing
footage and organizing media to export and sharing. Along the way,
they’ll learn the best ways to edit footage and add
transitions, effects, and filters, do basic color correcting, work
with audio, and utilize a variety of HD workflow techniques, to
name a few.
Within a weekend, users will learn the best ways to start editing
in this groundbreaking program in this must-have guide.
