Editing makes the difference between boring vacation movies and
exciting travelogues...between the whole dull news conference and
the highlights on the evening news. Whether you're a budding
Spielberg, a proud parent who wants two-year-old Junior's every
feat documented for posterity, or a band that wants your music
video to rock, "Final Cut Pro HD For Dummies" tells you what you
need to know to edit regular digital or high definition video like
