Revolutionary Final Cut Pro 2 Digital Film Making (with CD ROM)". Book

Final Cut Pro 2 is "the smartest video-editing program available for less than $10,000". Does Apple's FCP2 warrant such a reputation? Yes - because it contains everything required by the serious video professional. You can climb a mountain or head off into the jungle with nothing but a digital camera and FCP2 on an Apple PowerBook and transmit professionally edited DV footage to your colleagues in the office... well you can if you work for National Geographic. If not, you might have to settle for preparing professional quality digital video in your own living room. The aim of FCP2 Digital Film Making is to show you how to create a movie (from organizing the shoot to logging the footage) and then edit and enhance it using FCP2 to an advanced and professional level. With a focus on digital film making, this book digs deep into the complexities of FCP2, showing you how to go about creating a professional Electronic Press Kit (EPK) for distribution. The result is that, by the end of the book, you will have a thorough and comprehensive grasp of FCP2, having explored all the features in advanced detail, and be more than ready to start creating your own digital masterpieces.... Cannes, here we come! DVision provides the creative and technical information that is typical of friends of ED books, delivering the CREED (Concept, Realisation, Edit, Effects, Delivery) approach to the digital video community.Read More
