The Final Cut Pro 2 User’s Manual is a monumental work of technical documentation. Good thing it’s written in the readable, easy-to-understand style you’ve come to expect from Apple.
 
The Final Cut Pro 2 User’s Manual gives you detailed information on everything you need to know to get the most out of your software — from acquisition through the editing process to effects and distribution. It shows you how to get the most of this powerful suite of editing tools as you push the envelope of your imagination.
 
The manual starts with the basics, from the interface to working with easy setups, presets and external video settings. Then on to acquisition strategies, using the browser and managing projects and clips. Plus logging and capturing media, importing graphics, QuickTime and audio files, and the benefits of paperless Edit Decision Lists (EDLs).
 
Get a handle on effects: Compositing, applying motion effects and keyframes. Working with video filters, generators and speed settings. Rendering. Plus, of course, how to take full advantage of Final Cut Pro’s architecture for real-time effects.
 
Want to talk distribution? Want to create and modify your own custom effects? Want to learn more about anamorphic media, transition codes for EDL export or video calibration using color bars? Just pick up the book.
