View Full Version : FCP3 Books?

I'd like to buy a guide to FCP3. Two of the popular ones on amazon are "Final Cut Pro 3 for Macintosh (Visual QuickPro Guide)" by Lisa Brenneis and "Final Cut Pro 3 and the Art of Filmmaking" by Jason Cranford Teague, David Teague. They offer a discount if you buy these two together. So my question is if anyone out there has opinions on either book or has any other recommendations. To note: I am a relative novice at FCP.
Thanks

Final Cut Pro 3 already comes with huge manuals (I'm just starting to read them myself) and a tutorial. Maybe you should peek at the documentation and work through the tutorial before you invest in any other publications, in case you decide either "Hey, now I understand everything" or "I'm in way over my head - I'm switching to iMovie"!
