Solid training!

Reviewer: hoopchi,
Very impressed with the thoroughness of this training book. I've been using Final Cut Pro for about a year and felt that I was not progressing in ability. Within 10 minutes of opening this book I learned 5 things that have made me faster and a better editor. I highly recommend this book.
Great Final Cut book

I got this within 7 days of ordering it. I am very thankful to have it and its like having a brand new copy that I only paid less then half the regular price.
Kindle edition no Table of Contents!

Reviewer: F. Lovelett, Sykesville, MD USA
Since Kindle books do not display page numbers or support user-generated hierarchical bookmarks, including the Table of Contents is essential for navigation.

Omitting the TOC from "Final Cut Pro 7" is a mistake that reflects badly on this (otherwise wonderful) reference as well as on Kindle editions. I'll hold out a tiny hope that Amazon and Peachpit Press will correct this major oversight.

This book is fantastic for anyone who wants to learn more about the Final Cut Pro program. I Learned more than I thought I would in the first chapter, it has certainly increased my productivity with the quick-ness and smooth-ness that I can now edit video into a rough final cut sequence. I'm a big Hands On learner and this book catered to that style more than any other book I have read on Final Cut Pro.
Excellent Book

Reviewer: Joel Godin, Venice, Florida
I love Diana's writing style. This book flows and is easy to follow, easy to learn. She covers all points excellently.
After stating a point or lesson, questions come to mind and it's as if she is reading my mind as she goes right on to answer
those questions. One of the best technical books I've read since 2000. Includes lots of clear color shots as she goes.
