More than a button-pushing manual - this editing workshop gives your firsthand experience with the art and technique of editing with Final Cut Express (FCE). It includes in-depth info on the application's features, interface elements, and tools. You develop a working knowledge of the principles and methods taught in film schools with tutorials that covers the essentials:
•Nuances of system set-up to ensure smooth operation
•Getting your material into FCE and getting it organized
•Editing to build and trim a sequence of shots
•Adding transitions
•Working with audio, split edits, back-timing and level control
•FCE titling tools
•Color correction, image animation, and special effects filters
•Compositing to enhance your projects
•Outputting your material
The companion DVD includes a short video aimed at iMovie users making the transition to FCE, explaining the differences between the two applications. The DVD-ROM portion of the disk holds digital media and graphic files for the tutorial projects, sample transitions and demo filters from Graeme Nattress, CGM, and CHV plugins, and a timecode calculator.
Where can I get the book? It is available from Amazon and other online booksellers.
