If it's good enough for the legendary Hollywood film editors, it's good enough for you! This guide is aimed squarely at Final Cut Pro users just like yourself--at corporate, commercial, and independent post-production houses--who want to move beyond simple Final Cut Pro installations for their film and video masterworks. Through project-based lessons and step-by-step instructions, this self-paced guide shows you how to integrate high-end capture cards, storage systems, and other industry-standard hardware into a Final Cut Pro workflow, as well as how to install and configure Final Cut Pro to make the most of your professional non-linear editing system. This is the technical information most frequently requested by Final Cut Pro users, pulled together into one book that is both a self-paced learning tool and the official curriculum for the Apple Pro Training and Certification Program. The guide covers everything from system configuration, storage, and device connectivity to the intricacies of SAN solutions, and includes special sections on optimizing short-form/broadcast workflows and long-form/HD workflows. It offers troubleshooting advice at every turn: for dropped frames, mismatched audio and audio distortion; imported graphic file issues, media management, file recovery and archiving strategies, and much more. DVD with lesson files and media included.

Final Cut Studio also includes Soundtrack Pro, for audio editing and sound design, Motion 2, for real-time motion graphics and DVD Studio Pro 4, for authoring high definition DVDs to the latest HD DVD specification. Written by Apple experts Mary Plummer, Damian Allen, Klark Perez and Matthew Geller - the lessons in this book-DVD combo are the official Apple Pro Training Final Cut Studio tutorials, and are available in printed form for the first time! The Interactive DVD Tutorial takes you through the applications interfaces and primary features, including a narrated tour of important new features. This hands-on teaching tool includes lesson files and media on the DVD, so you can work through real-world projects as you learn. The Final Cut Studio Tutorials are step-by-step, project-based lessons - the equivalent of about 8 hours of training. You’ll edit two video projects, create motion graphics for a 10-second promo and a ‘coming up next’ TV bumper, edit and mix audio files, and author two complete DVD menus. Accompanying project and media files are located on the book’s second DVD.

This is a book comprised of pictures, journal entries, and hospital notes/records/test results over the six weeks that the author's girlfriend underwent treatment for leukemia in the spring of 1979. I read it in the course of one afternoon. Pretty much the most heart-wrenching book in the world.
