Customer Reviews

A great book for ALL Final cut users.

This book has been such a great relief for me as an editor and sound man. It wouldn't matter if I were an amateur or an expert, this book has all the ingredients to get you started with Final Cut and give you everything you need to become a great editor. Kudos to the author and I hope to see another book in the future by this same person.

Truly Genius

John Lynn does a great job taking a novice FCS user and bringing them to new heights with their confidence and their ability. The layout of the book is easy to read and very informative. I currently use this book in my classroom and will keep my eyes peeled for any future publications from John. Even if you consider yourself a good editor, this book is a must for your collection.

What you need to know when you need to know it

Having taken classes from John Lynn and Genius DV, I knew the book would be good. And it did not disappoint. You can easily search for the particular task you need to complete and it is presented step-by-step. It remains right next to my editing station unless someone "borrows" it.

Better Shortcuts

This book took me from, "I think I can...", to "Watch this!" in a couple of weeks. A clear and concise illustration of the emense power of FCP.

Final Cut Pro users.... you need this book!!

Final Cut Pro Portable Genius There couldn't have been better timing! I installed a new Final Cut Pro suite just in time for "Final Cut Pro Portable Genius" to be available. What a life saver this handbook has been, it never leaves my side while I'm editing. I have always considered myself to be more of an artist than an engineer or a computer genius. "Final Cut Pro Portable Genius" takes the guess work out of setting preferences that can critically maximize Final Cut Pro's capability and increase my ability to create an awesome product. The full color diagrams and screen shots throughout the book are easy to follow, and incorporate steps to create any result I can imagine. I am preparing to do my first major project using Final Cut Pro and I am so glad I have "Final Cut Pro Portable Genius"as a reference as I go forward. Help menus are great, but "Final Cut Pro Portable Genius" will be a critical part of my success as a Final Cut Pro editor. Thank you Genius DV!
