Customer Reviews & Comments
The folks that do the Visual QuickPro Guides have developed an interesting format that they use for computer books. Basically each page has two columns. The outside column has the text that describes what is being done on that page. The column near the gutter of the book is used for screen shots that show what the screen should look like as you do the procedure described on the outside column. This philosophy is combined with an excellent index and table of contents to enable you to quickly find what you want to do. As such, you can read the book straight through like a tutorial, or you can go directly to the part you need like a reference book. It's a book design that successfully combines the two book types. Although beginning level users can get a lot out of this book, it will be a big help if you have at least a bit of basic video editing experience. Final Cut is a professional level program. A little work with iMovie first might be a big help.
