If you've been avoiding high-definition video because in order to edit it, you would have had to purchase a secondary card (not to mention an HD TV to view it on), you can finally hop on the HD bandwagon. With Final Cut Pro HD, you can now import, edit, and export HD video over FireWire--no extra hardware or media conversion required! Knowing you won't want to waste a second getting up to speed on it, video pro Lisa Brenneis has completely updated her best-selling guide on the topic. In this task-based guide, step-by-step instructions combine with loads of visual aids and time-saving tips to move you quickly through Final Cut Pro basics and on to more advanced topics like creating transitions and motion effects, and filter and rendering options. In the process, you'll learn about all of the program's most important features, including those new to HD: real-time color correction, the ability to toggle between full-resolution, high-quality playback or preview mode, and more!
