FCP 3 Integrated Manual Indices
By Ben Bryant
I posted a question on the discussion board here asking if there was a
master index. When I learned that there wasnât I decided to make one and
here it is.
Realizing that if I did a complete integration of all the entries in the
four indices the program would be obsolete by the time I finished, I did
it the easy way (Ha!). I copied each page from the individual manual
index PDFs (on the V 3 CD) to a word processing document. Color coding
them by manual, I put all the 'A's from "What's New" (Black) followed by
the 'A's from Volume I
I believe I got it all and didn't double copy anything. I checked all
the indentations but I may have missed a few and if I did I apologize. I
hope you find this compilation saves you lots of time as you plow
through these 4 volumes. All the contents of these manuals and indices

I was ably assisted in this project by Daniel Martin without whose help
this would have been impossible.

I started exploring my new FCP 3 it as soon as I had it installed. The
first time I came to something that I couldn't figure out I went to the
manual. But there were four of them! Which one contained the answer? So
I started with "What's New", moved on to Volume I and finally found the
listing in the index to Volume II. It took me longer to find the subject
in the index than it did to learn the technique once I'd located the
instructions. Not good.
