| Final Cut Pro is a serious tool for serious (usually professional) editors. If you're like most users, you already know the software's interface, are well-versed in editing basics, and are interested in just one thing: going as deep as possible with the software's tools and features.
In this guide, experts deliver hard-to-find training in real-world color correction and effects techniques using Final Cut Pro 5. With their help, you'll learn advanced effects techniques, including motion & filter effects, keying & compositing, creating animated titles and how to apply effects to nested sequences. In the color correction section of the book, tutorials will guide you through scene-to-scene color matching, and correcting for broadcast specifications. Finally, you'll learn to harness LiveType's capabilities (and media library) to create compelling opening titles. Each chapter in this self-paced, Apple-authorized guide represents a self-contained lesson, with a project to complete, a review section, and exercises to reinforce what you've learned.
The accompanying DVD includes: Lesson files for 30+ hours of training; focused lessons take you through professional projects; Ample illustrations help you master techniques fast; Lesson goals and time estimates help you plan your time; Chapter review questions summarize what you've learned. | |
