Larry Jordan’s fourth book on Final Cut Pro is released!

This quick reference book is filled with the fast tips you need to speed your work.

You have the basics of Final Cut Pro down but when it’s crunch time, it’s the hidden techniques, shortcuts, and workarounds — the power skills–that make the difference.

In Final Cut Pro Power Skills, you’ll learn better ways to organize and set up your workspace, new ways to tune the interface, faster ways to edit, add effects, and work with audio, and many more.
