What's the best book for Final Cut Pro beginners? (1 Viewer)

[MielR]

I want to buy a book/guide for FCP (I'm a beginner) and I'm wondering if anybody has any recommendations?

I was looking at the Focal Easy Guide, and a couple other titles, but it's hard to tell how useful they are just by flipping through them at the bookstore.

Thanks!

I'd start here:
Richard Harrington | NAPP | Video Editing | Adobe Photoshop, After Effects, Final Cut Pro, & Apple Motion Training | Kelby Training

Thanks!

Are there also any books/manuals that would make a good companion to the tutorials?

 

[Sam Posten]

Dunno, not my area of spec sorry!
