Inhaltsangabe

The only book on Final Cut Pro to focus exclusively on motion graphics and special effects.

Hard-won professional insights and advice from an editing pro who's worked with Final Cut Pro from the beginning-as the founder of the first Final Cut Pro user group and with a client list that includes Pixar, Electronic Arts, and 3DO.
Tutorial-based instruction shows readers not just the how of creating effects, but also the why, revealing the critical concepts underlying the techniques.
Companion CD includes project files, QuickTime movies, and more. Digital video powerhouse Final Cut Pro, from Apple Computer, is one of those vast programs whose range of features prevents many users from becoming proficient with them all. Most books on Final Cut Pro attempt to be comprehensive, but in doing so, sacrifice depth. Increasingly, professional Final Cut Pro users (and aspiring professionals) find they need to develop advanced skills in a particular phase of the production process, and that calls for focused, in-depth treatment. In Motion Graphics and Effects in Final Cut Pro , video effects pro and inspirational instructor Kevin Monahan tackles Final Cut Pro purely from the perspective of its motion graphics and special effects capabilities. His style is passionate yet approachable, and he provides plenty of hands-on tutorials. He teaches readers the most essential concepts and the most useful, most efficient techniques-many undocumented elsewhere. A CD with trial plug-ins, sample project files, and QuickTime movies accompanies this richly illustrated, four-color book-required reading for anyone interested in creating spectacular effects and motion graphics with Final Cut Pro.
