Library Journal

Final Cut Pro is an amazingly easy-to-use desktop video-editing, effects-creation tool that is claiming a major market share from Adobe's Premier and After Effects. It could be called a studio in a box, and, by making the postproduction editing process cheaper and easier, it will have major impact on independent moviemakers and the entire microcinema movement evolving on the World Wide Web. Brenneis explains Final Cut Pro basics; logging and editing; cutting and assembling; and postproduction. This title should make the "final cut" in all libraries.
