  • It's about the relationship of FCPX capabilities, but also about how, why and when to use them.
I tried to use FCPX for a small project by googling things I knew it should do (like inserting media, creating sub-clips out of clips, etc.) and looking things up in the Apple e-book. It was like I had a steering wheel and a tool kit but didn't know what the rest of the car was. This book takes you through all of the necessary concepts in an orderly fashion of not only the software but of real-world applications and includes raw footage and audio clips to build and edit a project out of. I'm only through 1/3 of the way through the book but now I know about the whole car, rolling the windows up and down, starting and stopping the engine and driving down the street. And the radio. Changing the oil is next. I was initially hesitant about the price (compared with Apple's free e-book) but I am extremely pleased with what I'm getting for the investment. I would recommend this to anyone that wants to be comfortable using all of FCPX and not just use the steering wheel and the tool kit. ... show more

  • Love it so far!
I’m only about 20% of the way in (finishing up Chapter 3) but I love it so far. I bought the online version and I’m so glad I did that. I have the book on one monitor and FCP on another so I can easily read along and do what the book instructs me to do in FCP. I’m brand new to this program and personally, I think this book is great for beginners. You work through a project from beginning to end. And for me the best way to learn is to actually do it. Will add to my review once I’m done with the book but so far I find this money well spent. ... show more

  • Worth every penny and much more!
This book taught me how to use fcpx to plan and manage a project from start to finish. The media used for the project was easy to download and of excellent quality.

  • Increase your knowledge
I have used FCP for a number of years, and love it, as I am 92 years old, and need brain stimulation. The book has taught me to use more keyboard shortcuts, and improved my knowledge of colour correction methods. There is still lots more for me to discover I ws very impressed at the speed at which Amazon delivered here to Australia, and the book arrived in excellent condition ( and this applies to other purchases ) ... show more

  • Very clear and comprehensive.
Very comprehensive and excellent tutorial files and a “this is where you should be up to here” framework.

  • Poor graphics
I just received this book, flipped through it and immediately returned it. The graphics are unbelievably poor for a $60 book. Graphic examples such as screen shots are tiny, dark, low resolution and illegible. For a book about video images, way more attention needs to be paid to the size and quality of the graphic images. ... show more

  • Final Cut Pro X 10.4 updated to 10.5
When I first started with the book, it was going fine. But a few chapters in and the screen in the book didn't match my screen. I got stuck and couldn't go any further. :(
