3.0 out of 5 stars Covers basics only, March 30, 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Does a good job of covering the basics and setting up some of the things like effects. Doesn't seem to cover syncing or multi cam, music video issues.
No coverage of naming or renaming clips. Covers keywords but not real logging.

Appreciative that this release is in Kindle format and reflects Final Cut's latest upgrades. On my iPad I can now read and apply course material via Final Cut. Course lessons are available on line to complete the learning process.
