This textbook is very clearly written, great real world examples, and I'd say one of the best instruction books I have come across. Covers all the advanced techniques and topics editors are most interested in: multi--cam projects, nested sequences, color correction, polished transitions, effects, compositing, and more. The book's DVD offers plenty of professional footage and project files for you to use as you work your way through each book's lesson. I recommend the seller and item to whoever is interested in learning more about FCP. Easy to read and informative.
