In order to for students to be successful in editing videos, they need to start with quality video footage. I start the year teaching the student about photography and the principles of videography so that they can create amazing footage that they can be proud of. Even though the book is about video, the first section of the book is helpful for anyone who wants to take better pictures or even teach about taking pictures.
The next section of my book is a crash course on teaching Final Cut Pro. I highlight some of the basics so that anyone can start editing with Final Cut Pro after reading through my basics. I also include some student created examples of various projects that my students have created over the past few years.
I hope in the 30 pages of my book one can get an idea of what is involved in teaching Final Cut Pro in the secondary setting.

Thanks Cheryl. I looked around my son's toys and thought the Star Wars figures would work well. Since they have grown out of them now, I keep them in my classroom for stop animation. I used some of my down time during COVID to bring in my photo gear take the pictures for the book. If you look at the footage in the Final Cut Pro section, the clips of my daughter and her friend skiing. I am so glad I get to teach video editing again after taking a break for awhile.

Thank you Michael for authoring and sharing this very extensive resource! I sure wish I had something this detailed when I was teaching video and photo (many years back!). Your book will be so helpful to teachers using photography and Final Cut in the classroom.
It is so wonderful to be able to easily author to Apple Books and share out. You’ve done a nice job!
PS - I love your Star Wars figures - fun shot examples!
