Mike Matzdorff is removing his incredible book titled Final Cut Pro X: Pro Workflow: Proven Techniques from the First Studio Film to Use FCP X from Apple Books and Amazon.

We strongly recommend you purchase it RIGHT NOW.

Mike explains:

There are a couple reasons for taking it down...
I think there are better resources available, which may have built on what I did (see Iain Anderson's Final Cut Pro Efficient Editing) - there are still some good techniques in there, but the ideas are nearly ten years old.
I think one of my hopes, at the time, was that FCP(X) would be something I could use in my main (paying) editing work, and due to the manufacturer's development choices, it wasn't something I could sell productions on.
Which is ok. It's great software, supported by a great community and Apple folks. The book is a bargain, even now.

You can purchase from Amazon here and Apple Books here for a short time only!

Thanks Mike for EVERYTHING you've done for the Final Cut Pro community! Legend.
