Successful non-linear editing for video

"Up until the mid 1990s, editing had to be done sequentially on tape; now video editing can be done on computer using cut-and-paste techniques similar to those in word processing. This enhanced DVD provides a step-by-step approach to nonlinear editing by demonstrating a variety of essential techniques using the latest video-editing software ... Users will become familiar with the edit window and how images and sound can be manipulated within it. Topics include choosing shots, editing for a reason, line of action, editing dialogue, transitions, digital effects, and music."--Container.
