Description:This book should be offered as a throw-in by Boris as it expends more words praising the program than actually teaching how to use it. Some features of the software have useful and informative tutorials, i.e. splines and masking, but others, such as motion tracking have only a press-release type blurb and are useless. The author writes well, just not enough about things that count. Don't buy unless you can look through it and see if it covers the topics you need.
