Updated for Final Cut Pro 7, this unique book uses Avid images and terminology to create a comprehensive 'translation course' for video and film editors who already know their way around Avid nonlinear systems. Best-selling author and editor Diana Weynand takes readers through detailed feature comparisons, practical conversion tips, and instructions on how to use Final Cut Pro features that aren't available in Media Composer. Each chapter represents a complete lesson in some aspect of Final Cut Pro 7 and includes a review section and list of keyboard shortcuts.
