I wanted to give a shout to all of the people who have given positive feedback on the book since it’s been out. It’s great to hear from you all!
To those who are looking for the web chapters - some will be up soon, but still a little longer for the Final Cut Server stuff. We don’t know any more than you do on that . . .
The book has been officially available for almost a week, and i noticed that our sweet 34% discount on Amazon is over . . .
Of course, we have no control over this, but at 34% off, we could get the book cheaper from Amazon then the publisher will sell us extra copies direct.
Anyway, check Google products to find the best price:

(well, we are not so sure about that, but it is pretty humorous. . . . )
With help from Shawn Rider, we have implemented some improvements to the Final Cut Pro Workflows site, created to support out book of the same name coming out next month.
I took this photo in Pennsylvania while Muffie and I were laying out the book.
The book has been sent to the printer!
In the book, we talk about the Sneaker Net concept quite a bit: using a FireWire drive to physically move media from system to system.
We make the point that “we still use this method all the time,” and even as Xsan shared storage becomes more common, the sneaker net still seems as popular as ever.
This week, I started new media archive drive for two clients, and we are preparing protable drives for each of my 48 undergraduates to use for their editing all semester.
At the same time, have been doing some training with Channel 2 in Baltimore who are switching (get this) from linear editing to an FCP Xsan environment.
So I guess my point is that the new does not eliminate the old in many cases, you just have more people doing their thing in different ways.
Just created a new site to support the book:
Still a work in progress to be sure, but I expect to be adding to it soon.
See the Amazon page for Final Cut Pro Workflows: The Independent Studio Handbook.
