Product Description
This work serves as an introduction to both the Final Cut system and to the digital video format in general, imparting relevant information about the specifications of the format and the proper configuration of the basic editing system in jargon-free terms. In the case of systems such as Avid and Media 100, many complicated user settings occur transparently and automatically as hardware operations. Final Cut Pro, however, requires some understanding and manual configuration of those settings in order to operate effectively. This work educates users in hardware and configuration issues. A step-by-step approach to digital video projects explains the why as well as the how behind all the elements, from configuring the system to the final output of a project.

Chawla's book gives an excellent overview of digital and analog video and lists the necessities for optimizing your Macintosh and FCP in a quick and easy language and, more importantly, explains the whys of how things work. I also found the index referencing to be in good working order with easy to find listings. And the book goes over filter effects (left untouched by previous publishers) as well as the basics of importing/exporting alternative media and sound as well as how to incorporate them into your video editing.

I am a digital video producer by trade and this booked proved to me that I really don't know as much as I thought I did. It is simple to understand, but incredibly useful and informative. It will always be kept close to my editing station as an invaluable reference. It has already saved me from a making a couple of mistakes, that I had been making for years. YOU NEED THIS BOOK!
