“ Somehow a manual doesnt work for me. However your training video along with its downloading system and NED viewing system are excellent. I have both enjoyed the first viewing and later delighted in finding solutions to issues I was being slowed down with by dipping into the training. Thank you Michael Wohl and your team. I would recommend the Final Cut 6 101: video editing essentials. ”

“ No matter how proficient I get on a number of audio/video softwares, I'm always intimidated by that "first look" at a new one. FC is no exception. This video will take a lot of the intimidation out of getting started. Then you can keep going back to it and learn more and more in depth things. Great job as usual to the MacProVideo staff. I'm a Mac convert from about a year ago and you guys have really helped to make me feel that I made the right decision! ”

“ I purchased the Apple Pro training book and will admit that it is very good. I learned a lot.
That being said, I must say that this tutorial for FCP 6 taught me a lot more. I firmly believe that the ability to hear the Pro and watch the demo made the concepts much easier to grasp.
I highly recommend this tutorial and this method of learning. Hearing, Seeing and being able to pause the lesson and try it myself has made a world of difference in my ability to grasp the different concepts sooner.
Keep up the good work. ”

“ Am a relative newcomer to MPV. Used STP and FCP so far. Both are very instructive and helpful to get to know rel. complex programs. Perhaps more detailed outlines and content description would help the selection of training sessions since very often one just needs help on very specific topics or tasks. ”

“ I had never used Final Cut Pro Studio 6 when I bought it. It was very overwhelming at first. The tutorial that came with it was not very helpful at all. They didn't explain things very well. After about 4 weeks I am able to do some Basic things on it, but not much more. I bought the 101 tutorial with Mr. Wohl and it has been very helpful. I am learning and navigating around a lot better in just hours after watching parts of the video. It is a very worth while investment. I would highly reommend it to others. ”
