More Advanced FCE Training Book

Hi All:
I've finished Tom's book FCE 4 Editing Workshop - it was fantastic, but I feel like I've just touched the tip of the iceberg.
I have almost finished creating my first DVD for sale, it's very basic, but it gets the material that I want out to the public, so fine.
But I want to make the next in the series even more professional.
So do I take classes at the Apple Store, does Tom have a more advanced book? Do I just start playing with everything and learn as I go?
What would you do?
Also is there a way to put a picture within a picture? I recorded some of my shots with 2 cameras, I'd like the main camera to be the main focus but have a small box of a different view in the upper right or left corner? Couldn't find reference to that in the book.
Thanks
Kim

If you have really studied and +learned everything+ in Tom's book there is very little else you can do.
I consider that his book has far more in it than most editors will ever need to know.
If you want to do more advanced things it is a matter of combining and honing the skills you already have.

  • What is the best FCE 4 Training Book

    What is the best recommendation as far as training book?
    The one recommended by "Tom Wolsky"?
    Or, the "Visual QuickStart Guide"
    I have had good luck with the Visual QuickStart Guides in the past. But if the Tom Wolsky book is better, I'm all for it. On that note; Which book? "Final Cut Express 4 Editing Workshop"?
    Steve

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Tom's book is a big tutorial book with lessons. It's a very good start to learn using FCE by practice.
    Lisa Brenneis's "Quickstart guide FCE for Mac OS X" is a kind of dictionnary presenting all application menus. It's less based on a day to day work.
    Both volumes will teach you a lot of FCE.

    i have the essential guide to dreamweaver, brilliant dreamweaver and classroom in a book is the anythin more advanced? bookwise

    David has some good books and I'm sure he would recommend them as well.

    The more advanced are geared towards programming and databases.  Is it safe to assume that's the direction you are looking to go in?

  • Final Cut Pro x10.2 training book

    Does anyone know if there is an updated training book available for this version of FCP X? I just completed a course at an approved training center, and they provided me with the training book, but I've downloaded the new FCP X 30-day trial, and there are ample differences in the new version, apparently. An updated training book would be very helpful.
    Thanks!
    Michael

    Don't sweat the small stuff. It will take you more than 30 days to get good at FCPX so the differences between the last and current revs are not really that big for you.
    I confidently recommend Tom's book. Even though it's a bit out of date, the fundamentals he covers have not changed much.

  • AE CS6 training books

    Hi folks,
    I searched the forums for advice on training books for the CS6 products, but all the threads are a year old, so I'm hoping to revisit the topic of training books for the Production Premium CS6 software (mainly AE, Premiere, and Photoshop).
    I see from Amazon that there are Adobe Classroom in a Book copies already for CS6, but frankly, they're exact reprints of the the CS5 books I already have, same example files, exercises, chapters, etc. Very few new topics exist.
    I have to be honest that I'm 1/3 through After Effects CS5 CinaB, and I don't love it. All the files are standard def ( ! ), and they don't seem to be practical from a design standpoint at all. Many of them feel incredibly dated and not something I would use in a practical design.
    Can anyone recommend a good tutorial book that approaches learning AE, etc from a designer's perspective? I should indicate that I am not a beginning with any of these tools, but I'm not advanced either. I'm looking for really solid, practical, industry-used techinques to take my production to the next level. Things like how 3D tools in Photoshop work, how the new 3D tools (ie Ray Traced 3D) works in AE, advanced compositing techniques, troubleshooting footage techniques, advanced effects work, etc.
    Any help/recommendations is greatly appreciated!

    Mark Christiansen's "Studio Techniques" would be the relevant "industry bible". Otehrwise these days you can find tons of tutorials on the web for everything, but naturalyl the quality will be mixed. Some are good, some not so much. Until you get to a specific point in your workflows, though, most of them will not be particularly relevant either way. Perhaps video2brain's series featuring Todd Kopriva & Angie Taylor might be a good place to start, but I can't vouch for any of that - I haven't watched a tutorial in eons. I simply don't have the time.

  • Please recommend a SQL / PLSQL training book

    Anybody could recommend a SQL / PLSQL training book:
    1. problem-solution style,
    2. from beginner to advanced level
    Or do we have any website which have this function ?
    I want to practice, practice, practice....
    Thanks.

    It has that part also.
    But, this is a good book to learn oracle.
    Perhaps, your requirement make me nostalgic about my childhood days when we are solving dummy question and answers from Question Bank. ;)
    If you are really hungry for such oracle problem and it's solution. Then why not join regularly in OTN forum here? ;)

  • Best Aperture Training Book

    Hi,
    I need a training book for Aperture 2.0. At Amazon, I could only find Pro Training Series by Peachpit Press. The reviews have been somewhat mediocre. Do you have any other recommendations?
    Thanks

    I did not miss any points at all. The book stinks as a reference manual and a tutorial. It is better than nothing but that's about it. I have read all of your posts and others regarding the book and have noticed the emphasis of using it as a tutorial. After seeing so many wonderful comments on it and "strongly recommend" type things I just had to be the odd man out.
    I can assure you that I am intimately familiar with the book as a book and as a tutorial. A more appropriate should be how to take 900 hours to walk through inane things that you could learn yourself in 90 minutes of trial and error or something like that. The sad fact is that there are no better materials for Aperture at this point. The really insane part about this and the Lightroom situation is that the tools are workflow tools and far too much emphasis is placed on adjustments, adjustments, adjustments.

    I have business and personal e-mail accounts with different contacts. Can I have more than one address book on my iPhone?

    Set up an additional user account and use one for work and one for personal stuff - each will have a separate address book. Turn on fast user switching for easy switching between the two.

    You are missing one or more photos - youprobably have a page background that requires a photo which is behind a page with photos on it - all pages must either have a photo or be a color - if you have a gray background it requires a photo - look through the book carefully and be sure to look at the background on any full page photos - you will find one or more missing photos

  • More than one address book

    I know there are groups in the address book, but I have a reason to want to not include all the addresses in one address book. Is it possible to have more than one address book on my IMac G5 running Tiger? If so, how would I do it?
    Also, I am having a problem sending to a large group of 155. The message comes back that it cannot send because of a syntax error. Could that be caused by importing my addresses from an older system? Does anyone have a quick method for testing to see which is the bad email address that is causing the problem? I know the problem is not with the server because I can still send to this group on my older Mac running 9.2 system.

    I see two possibilities, neither of them very convenient. One is two set up a separate user account. Each account will have its own address book, and you will need to switch between accounts to switch books. The other is to have a second address book stored somewhere away from ~/Library/Application Support/AddessBook/AddressBook.data. You would move the current book to the desktop and drag in the alternate to use it. You could set up a script to move them around. I see great opportunities for getting them confused! A variant on this, perhaps simpler and more reliable, would be to use the AB backup facility to keep two separate backups - restore whichever you currently need.
    Can you give more details of the syntax error? Where is it coming from?

  • I have a mac pro with OS X 10.5.8., I have a mac pro with OS X 10.5.8.  How do I update to a more advanced version of OS X with a download?

    I have a mac pro with OS X 10.5.8., I have a mac pro with OS X 10.5.8.  How do I update to a more advanced version of OS X with a download?

    You need to go through 10.6.3 and 10.6.8 to get to 10.7 or 10.8. If you find that 10.6.8 isn't enough, open the Mac App Store and try purchasing Mountain Lion 10.8. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU with at least 2GB of RAM, and if it does, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
