From iMovie to Final Cut Pro X: Making the Creative Leap

Description

From iMovie to Final Cut Pro X offers an accessible, introductory guide to those taking up video editing using Final Cut Pro X, especially users making the transition from iMovie, Apple’s free video software, helping aspirational and mobile filmmakers develop the skills needed to take their career to the next stage. Written by award-winning former Apple Education trainer and Final Cut Pro expert Tom Wolsky, this full-color book illuminates the key differences between these two applications and teaches users how to produce first-class results using the professional application. Wolsky also covers best practices for those working with iMovie on an iPhone or iPad and looking to move to a more advanced desktop program. Downloadable Final Cut Pro X project libraries included with the book offer readers hands-on examples of the techniques and practices discussed. Covers Final Cut Pro X 10.3.1. Review: Quickly become proficient with FCPX - Ditching Adobe CC and their subscription pricing scams, I purchased FCPX and needed a book that would quickly get me up and running from Premier Pro to FCPX. This book is it with on line downloadable examples and exercises to explain the program and the mechanics. Review: Excellent Exercises with Sample Data - Downloading the author's data and following along with the exercises in the book is a great way to learn the material. It's tough to retain all the detail otherwise. I don't have much experience with iMovie, but it hasn't turned out to be a problem.
