Finally, a book that gives more than the basics!

Wow! I've been working on FCP for over three years and thought I had a pretty good handle on it, but I learned so much from this book. Every other editing book I've bought feels like a basic intro to editing. This book actually gives more advanced tips and some great ideas for working with effects. And the presentation is lighthearted and easy to read through. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who already has experience with Final Cut Pro.
Great Little Reference

I've been working with FCP since version 1 and I feel as if I have a very good handle on all the features. But, I was amazed as I flipped through this book at how well organized and concise the information was presented. It reminded me of some features that I'd forgotton about because I don't use them very often.
A Great Little Reference, and idea book. Worth keeping around and flipping through from time to time to refresh the ole gray matter.

What a breath of fresh air! What we're seeing here is the first of a new breed of books for more advanced users of FCP. As Certified Apple Instructors of FCP, (Richard is also the author of the excellent book, Photoshop for NLE editors) it is obvious that these guys know their stuff. However, delivering the material with wit and humor as they do, makes it a breezy yet informative read, indeed. You can either go through the book from cover to cover or in bite sized pieces between renders. Amongst all my FCP books, "Final Cut Pro 4 On the Spot" is quickly becoming one of the most dog-eared! I highly recommend this book for folks that are motivated to take their knowledge of FCP to new heights. Bravo Gentlemen! Kevin Monahan
