This book introduces the basic principles of filming and editing a movie, then applies the concepts to the computer software package Final Cut Pro for editing digital video. The author identifies the types of shots, and explains how to create tension and humor with editing, before getting down to the nuts and bolts of commands for working with markers, transitioning, trimming, and adding a soundtrack. The included CD-ROM contains one hour of video training for Macs. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
