COW Master Series Training DVD's
Stop Staring and Start Grading with Apple ColorStop Staring and Start Grading with Apple Color
An Introduction to Apple Final Cut Studio's Color Grading Application
$49.95

You got it with Final Cut Studio 2. You know it used to cost many thousands of dollars so it HAS to be powerful, right? You give it a try...then you want to give up. Color doesn't look or work like the Mac applications you're used to. Don't give up! Find your way through with Creative Cow leader Walter Biscardi. He shows you exactly how Color works, so you can really, truly stop staring and start grading.

Broadcast designer Kurt Murphy has been using After Effects since it went by the name of CoSA, but even then, Kurt found its one big drawback was the inability to create true 3D objects in 3D space. That is until Zaxwerks Invigorator came along. And now Zaxwerks Invigorator Training (Volume 1) by Serge Hamad is the perfect solution to get up to speed using this plug-in.
