Best Help/Tutorials For Final Cut Studio 3...

[acearchie]

So I finally saved up enough to take the plunge and buy the suite and although whilst final cut 7 is a doodle (as I have spent a few years on express) things like motion, color and soundtrack are completely new!

Where is the best place to start to get to know these? Books/online videos?

I have searched around and haven't found many things just explaining the interfaces and how to get started!

Thanks

and the manuals, but they don't come in printed form anymore I've heard.

I know it sounds boring but read the manuals that came as PDFs. Especially for Color.

I think this is what I might have to resort to doing.

I had a look at the lynda resources especially the Final Cut Studio Overview however for some reason I am really against the viewing online fiasco!

Anyone know any good books with some sample exercises? I think I might just have to bite the bullet and hit the manual and does some experimenting of my own!

Something like this looks gerat but does anyone know of anything generalised to the whole suite other wise I will be forking out around £30 for each book!
