I was struggling to switch from Final Cut Pro 7 to FCP X. I tried some online tutorials, with some success, but hit a few roadblocks. FCP X is a lot different from FCP 7. I saw a lot of bad reviews (of the application not this book) but once you get into FCP X you realize it is great application.So, enough about comparing FCP 7 to FCP X. About the book. An editor who is teaching classes on FCP X told me to get this book, start with Lesson 1 and go through the book. I have been doing that. I actually paid cash for some one-on-one lessons, but found it was better to go through the book on my own time.The book comes with a DVD. You load the lesson video files, start by learning how to open and manage "Events" and "Projects" and learn how to import video and scroll through it, and organize and label it. I am a semi-professional editor. I have worked at a TV station and can edit a TV news story. I have a YouTube channel, and I have just completed a documentary in FCP 7.If you are going to learn FCP X, this is the book for you. I highly endorse it. Do not try to guess and use FCP X intuitively. Sit down and do it right. It is worth the investment.Spend the money on this book, then spend the time following it step by step.One final note. I have used a lot of manuals. Nothing is more frustrating than seeing something in the manual that doesn't appear the same or work the same on your computer. I have not had that problem with this book.Feel free to contact me with questions.
