Apple Pro Training Series: Final Cut Pro X 10.1: Professional Post-Production Description
The Apple-Certified Way to Learn
This all-new guide presents a real-world workflow from raw media to finished project to demonstrate the features of Final Cut Pro X and the practical techniques you will use in editing projects. Using professionally acquired media, you’ll utilize the same tools and editing techniques used by editors worldwide in this revolutionary editing software. Renowned editor and master trainer Brendan Boykin starts with basic video editing techniques and takes you all the way through Final Cut Pro’s powerful features.
The lessons start as real world as it gets–with an empty timeline. After downloading the media files, you will be guided through creating a project from rough cut to final edit. The basic workflow and tools are covered in Lessons 1 through 4 where you will create a rough cut. The real-world workflow continues through the remaining lessons as you take the basic project and enhance it with a deeper dive into the more advanced Final Cut Pro X features including how to efficiently organize and share media with the new Libraries, enhanced audio tools, streamlined media management, retiming, and more.
• Downloadable lesson media files to work sequentially through exercises for hours of hands-on training.
• Focused lessons teach concepts and take students step by step through professional, real-world editing scenarios to create a final project.
• Chapter review questions summarize what students learn to prepare them for the Apple certification exam.
The Apple Pro Training Series is both a self-paced learning tool and the official curriculum of the Apple Training and Certification program. Upon completing the course material in this guide, you can become Apple Certified by passing the certification exam at an Apple Authorized Training Center.

I studied Educational Psychology in college, have been in media production my whole life, and I've been teaching Final Cut Pro professionally for a decade, and have over time memorized every version ever be published of these ATPS books for FCP.
This one is the BEST of the series to ever be published! By far! A refreshing new approach to teaching the industry's most cutting edge professional NLE: hands on, professional workflow, using a real world production, very clearly presented.
It starts with raw material, walks the student through importing, organizing, basic edits, refining edits, etc, to a finished product. Unlike previous versions which jumped around the workflow and jump around between different projects, this one uses the same project, in order of professional workflow, from start to finish.
I'm very impressed with the comprehensiveness of the subject matter covered, along with how easy the hands-on work is for the student. Mr. Boykin, Peachpit, and Apple really did an impressive job with this one. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to learn Final Cut Pro X, beginner or intermediate. I know some advanced users who would learn a thing or two from this book, also.
Hands-on, step by step, professional workflow from start to finish, with a real world video project reflecting the type of work 90% of the industry does, this is the single best training on the planet for Final Cut Pro X 10.1 and later.

This is not a comment on the actual textual content of the Kindle eBook, but rather, the implementation of graphics and text on different devices.
I refer to the many, many embedded screen shot type of graphics. On my iPad, all works normally - that is to say, a line of text - usually some instruction, and immediately below, a screenshot of what that instruction should look like. All sounds normal - it's what I would expect to see in the printed book.
However, using Kindle on my iMac, the graphic is half a line higher - and overlaps the text above it - so I can only see the top half of the letters. I've tried resizing the Kindle page, shutting down, then restarting and all of the other usual "fixes" - all to no avail.
The Kindle version is essential useless on my iMac - and entirely normal on my iPad.
Obviously, the file is fine - as implemented by the publishers - because it works on my iPad. But the Kindle side of it seems flawed on the iMac - so I guess it's a Kindle fault?? Who knows. But, this review published so that others may be forewarned- there may be an issue.
As I said, I have no problem with the book itself - it's great - but so far, only if viewed on my iPad.
