Rating:  - Unispiring Series of Books that Just Doesn't Make You Want to Learn
I purchased this used for a buck. It's of course, for an older version of the program that is Final Cut Pro, now in version 6. From the Black and White cover to the dull interior, It's not even worth keeping around for reference sake.
Rating:  - The Big Leap After Baby Steps
Even the authors are quick to say in the Introduction of this book, that it is not intended for the beginner user of Final Cut Pro, but for the one who is already comfortable with non-linear editing... the intermediate or veteran editor. Harrington and Shapiro have 20+ years of combined editing experience, 40 years of combined Apple usage, have read every tech document on the Web, every version of the program's manuals from start to finish, attended all Apple FCP certification courses, hung out ...

Rating: - Try the click inside feature
In response to H. Laurent's review... correct this is NOT a book for begineers. There's a whole bunch on the market, so we wanted to be different. If you click on the Look Inside feature, you can read sample pages, an index, and most importantly the back cover. We wrote this book for frustrated pros, and its labeled User Level: Intermediate - Advanced.
The book was written for expereinced editors who have hit the wall and want to know high end information fast. For those pros who ... Read More
Rating:  - Not for beginners
Indeed this book gives tons of small tips and I saw many tricks. It is fun, fast and easy to read. However, this book is a list of tricks in alphabetical order and it does not help me to learn how to use Final Cut Pro. I'm at the beginner stage and this book is not appropriate for my needs. When I will be able to use the program, I may come back to this book.

Rating: - Finally, a book that gives more than the basics!
Wow! I've been working on FCP for over three years and thought I had a pretty good handle on it, but I learned so much from this book. Every other editing book I've bought feels like a basic intro to editing. This book actually gives more advanced tips and some great ideas for working with effects. And the presentation is lighthearted and easy to read through. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who already has experience with Final Cut Pro.
