WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT
"Complete Training for Final Cut Pro 5" :
"The title of this DVD does not lie – indeed it is as complete a training guide to Final Cut Pro 5 as you’re likely to find. Given the necessary time and patience, Tom Wolsky holds your hand as he takes you on an interactive tour of the features and functions of Final Cut Pro 5.

...The lessons are, in many ways, a short course in postproduction that most users would otherwise have to go through a post-production course or film school to access.

...In particular, [Wolsky] takes time to explain the relevance and uses of various menus, displays and functions. As such, it provides a superb overview of non-linear editing for enthusiastic beginner, despite some of the Final Cut Pro-specific eccentricities. Most of the concepts imparted by Wolsky, and certainly a lot of the skills that can be developed in the course of the tutorials, are fairly easily transferred over to other non-linear editing packages such as Avid and Adobe Premiere..." - AppleTalk Australia (read full review)
