Finally a practical book on the craft of editing, October 30, 2008
By
Winfried (Netherlands)
Most other books stop after explaining which buttons to press. This book is intended for people who already know that but want to know how to assemble a scene from the raw footage in a logical way.
There are different chapters for dialogue, action scenes, comedies, documentaries and music videos.
Finally also two chapters on audio, but I haven't read those yet.
Although this book is part of the Apple Pro Training Series and there are many references to Final Cut pro short cut keys, this book can in my opinion also be used with other editing programs.
Highly recommended.
