Digital Video Editing: A User's Guide - Softcover

Whether you are a serious hobbyist, amateur, or no-budget video maker, this book will take you through a detailed overview of the entire editing process, from an introduction to the required software, planning and librarianship, and advance cutting methods to the benefits of non-linear editing and the seductive world of visual effects. The job of storytelling and communication is also covered, putting the needs of the movie and its audience above any love of technological novelty for its own sake. Designed to focus time, thought, and creativity, this study will inspire readers to produce the best possible results. Peter Wells' previous book was Digital Camcorder - A User's Guide.
