Produktbeschreibung

Suitable for those new to nonlinear editing as well as experienced editors new to Final Cut Express, this book is an introduction to Apple's editing software package and the digital video format in general. You will come away with not only an in-depth knowledge of how to use Final Cut Express, but also a deeper understanding of the craft of editing and the underlying technical processes that will serve you well in future projects.

The book's emphasis is always on using Final Cut Express in the real world, and as such it is the only book to go beyond the interface to address crucial issues like proper setup, system configuration, hardware, the Mac operating system, what equipment to purchase, and troubleshooting common problems. Armed with this information, you will sidestep problems and complete projects of exceptional quality.

Rezensionen

"a practical and highly recommended instructional and reference manual concerning how to use...for optimum digital video results." - Bookwatch

"There are few writers that combine both wit and expertise when tackling a complex subject such as Non Linear Editing. Charles Roberts makes learning Final Cut Express flat out fun...and yes, easy."
Michael Horton, Los Angeles Final Cut Pro User Group (LAFCPUG)

"Charles Roberts has been a valuable resource to Final Cut users since the very beginning. He knows the software inside out but more importantly, he's a credentialed teacher and this gives him the kind of
experience that allows him to open his subject matter in clear and simple terms."
