Wohl, Michael. Editing Techniques with Final Cut Pro, second edition, Peachpit Press, 2003.
Used copies of the second edition are pretty easy to find at a good price. What I like about this book, unlike
most of the other training books on editing, is it combines both practical Final Cut instruction with the craft
of editing from a practical perspective. Even though you’re editing with Final Cut Express, everything in this
book is relevant.

multi-camera, and more. Includes two DVDs chock full of footage and project files so you have a variety of
