Final Cut Pro 6

The scalability, performance and Emmy Award-winning workflow of Final Cut Pro 6 makes it the first choice of professional editors everywhere. For those clamoring to get in on the action, this best-selling, Apple-certified book uses a series of class-length lessons designed to provide a strong foundation in all aspects of video editing. World-class footage and the proven record of the market-leading Apple Pro Training Series are the hallmarks of this book. Using the project and media files on the accompanying DVD, readers work step by step through the book's exercises, learning to cut a scene from the USA Network television series Monk, create a promo for Seaworld's Belief documentary, and master filters and effects as they edit a segment of BBC's Living Color. Master teacher Diana Weynand starts with basic editing skills and moves on to creating transitions, applying filters, real-time color correcting, titling techniques, mixing sound, and working with multi-format and multi-camera footage. This revision has been updated to cover all of Final Cut Pro 6's new features, including an open format Timeline; enhanced effects, filters, and transitions; integrated Shake Smoothcam technology for stabilizing shots; and editable Motion templates.
