Based on the 10.3 version of Final Cut Pro, From iMovie to Final Cut Pro X: Making the Creative Leap is Tom Wolsky’s full color tutorial book for those wanting to make the transition from iMovie to FCPX, Apple’s feature rich professional software thatvastly extends the capabilities of its iMovie software.
From Movie to Final Cut Pro X is for all new users of FCP, particularly for those with a basic familiarity with iMovie, to which it has a familial relationship. It’s especially useful I think for those who are self-taught, and want to take their skills to a higher level.

There have been a few changes to the process of getting an iOS iMovie project into FCP since the changes made in iTunes 12.7. They actually make it quite simple and quick to do. You can read about it here.
