Last year at NAB, Apple announced Final Cut Pro X, a rebuilt version of the company's venerable video editing software. While not everyone was happy with the change, the new version of Final Cut Pro was designed to bring the power of video editing to the masses in a whole new way.

The Apple Pro Training Series: Final Cut Pro X paperback book is a great guide to lean FCPX. Renowned author Diana Weynand leads the reader through the basics, right up to advanced techniques, with over 40 hours of included video lessons and sample footage. If you want to learn (and even get certified in) the new Final Cut, the Apple Pro Training Series is the only way to go.
