Final Cut Pro is a nonlinear editing application that competes with AVID, Media 100, and Adobe Premier. It operates solely on the Macintosh platform and has won several awards for Best Nonlinear Editing System. FCP is a very complex and settings/preference heavy program that is poorly understood by users. For that reason, many users gloss over attributes or avoid them entirely. Inside Final Cut Pro 3 will assist users in setting up their system for productivity and using the power of FCP to their advantage through a combination of careful explanation and useful tutorials. Tutorials will make use of a coherent project to bring the reference material to life.
