Reviews 

This book is right to the point and helpful in explaining a program as deep as the Pacific. I was marveling at the usefulness of each paragraph. I'm a partner in a graphic design firm and really appreciated the simple layout and minimum word count on each spread. (I'm totally ADD…not a great combination with FCPI salute Diana and her approach. In simplicity there is inspiration and I found it this afternoon. I will order more of Diana's books. I can't imagine it gets too much better than this.

Before I had this book I knew how to use the basic functions of FCP, but I didn't know anything about using FCP's "real" features (Canvas Edit Overlay interface, backtiming, filters, Trim Edits). This book got me through all that rather quickly.
