Rating:  - A brilliant little book that'll make you an FCP expert in a couple of days
Moving over from Sony Vegas to FCP 6, Rick's book provided the quick, succinct instruction to quickly grasp all the main features of the software without confusion or unnecessary prose. And it's fun to read!
I use FCP 6, but this book covers FCP 5; this isn't a problem since both versions are identical in terms of layout.
Rating:  - another Amazon fake-out.
This is NOT a book as all other reviewers have stated. This is an E-book for download only. Amazon is misleading by lumping all reviews together. When purchasing this, you will NOT receive any Hard copy at all.
Rating: - Quick, easy to understand read and reference.
The first time I opened this book I was hooked on it.
It has a lot of pictures and real world terminology. I'm an audio engineer looking to get into post production and this book also used and explains a lot of production terms I never knew.
The other thing I like about this book compared to other Final Cut books is that it teaches you how to use this NLE from start to finish instead of jumping around, teaching you the video editing process out of order.

This guide to Final Cut Pro 5 is excellent. Like it says it is geared toward the learning but adds trinkets from professionals. I am a producer at URTV public access Channel 20 here in Asheville,North Carolina and everyone at the studio depends on all productions to be worked out through Final Cut Pro. If you are just starting out -this is the book for you. Carry this as your new bible. If you are a professional -there is still plenty for you to learn..maybe different approaches but well worth the amount ... Read More
Rating:  - Pretty Basic
I really looked forward to reading this book, as I have been thinking of buying Final Cut Studio and a MAC to run it. (not cheap in Africa I can tell you) I was dissapointed ... all these 5 star reviews led me to expect more, instead, I found a book that is just plain average. Example ... In Adobe Premier & Avid Liquid I use the ripple tool quite a lot, this book does not cover it in useable detail, I had to borrow some time on a FCP suite to find out for myself. The book contains a lot of "history" about ... Read More
