Reviews / Votes
"Tom Wolsky gives us another wonderful practicum in advanced editing, here via Final Cut Pro X, adroitly infusing software how-to with prepared exercises carefully crafted to reveal the power of the application for practical storytelling. This workshop-in-a-book also offers high value for those longform professionals adding FCPX to an existing skillset in other popular editing systems. Tom makes both student and professional feel right at home in what many perceive as a strange new world."- Loren S. Miller, Oscar-winning documentary editor
