Product Review Summary: Poor quality printing

I bought this book because I thought it was a good starting point and aproach to video editing. But it's a little to much saying "The Complete Technical Guide".

The printing quality is very poor. When I saw the preview images at Amazon I though they where digitized in low resolution, well, they where printed in low res... in a few cases the font size changes along the page, like in bad photocopies.

This book has 360pages which could be easily reduced to 180 with proper formating and discarding information like movie titles, company adresses and websites (?), it would be pratical a single link to a webpage gathering all links to the companies they refer, and others on the way.

If you aren't sure, there are better options. Unless it has 50% off... serious considering return it.


Product Review Summary: This book good for begginers

This book offers a good review over the concepts concerned with Videography. I have a 2 years experience in Video Editing. Home and Musical videos are my preferences, but I am looking for new options.
Many video editing concepts about Codecs, DVD burning, Editing work flow, Tips to increase quality on shutting (Slow motion), production tips were the more useful for me.
Recommendation: The practice footage could be better. and readers could take advantage of it. I suggest add more practices tips in order to capture the videographer interest.

Product Review Summary: This was a book, you REALLY should know that...

I have a question. Why do the shadow people age us with smothering envy as we sleep? Does anyone else wake up at night sometimes and smell their acrid, bitter and dusty presence?!! Why must they drain! Just as starlight bores holes through us they envy and groan silently until the stress of it works us all into withering, wilting, oldster shadows of ourselves. I like KFC even though its grease and smell make me tired, and sort of nauseous. Why do High functioning autistics loop on things other people do not even notice. My tongue keeps tasting itself in an infinite loop. My friend Marko made his "Rodin Coil" to change the world then ran out of energy and now he plays all day with his children. I will edit a video of you if you pay me $250 an hour. I really would prefer that you be interesting, is that rude? I receive about 3/4 of the stuff I order from Amazon because I live on The Big Island and the mail carriers steal things here. It's either that or Amazon just sucks and they're giving 1/4 of my orders to the shadow people who keep turning my KFC rancid. I knew the book already, Q Bert happened when Pac Man mutated and evolved a dna shaped spine and began worshiping sacred geometry. It's all about Vortexes. Go youtube 2012, 19.5 and learn about Rodin Coils. Then be Happy.

Product Review Summary: Take your editing up a notch...

I have been using entry-level NLEs (e.g. Vegas Movie Studio, Pinnacle Studio, Magix Movie Edit Pro) for about four years. Any progress in my editing skills came from the traditional 'trial and error' approach, and from learning by watching other amateur-produced movies in a video club that I belong to...

"Editing Digital Video" helped me learn new techniques and approachs to editing my movies. Suggestions on how to get organized, good definitions & explanations of editing jargon, and the included footage for an editing exercise all help you take your editing up a notch to produce better movies.

The book is text-heavy---I would like to have seen more illustrations, and possibly a professionally editing version (or two) of the editing exercise. Highly recommended.

Product Review Summary: A great start

Editing digital video gave me a good insight into the baiscs of digital editing. The last time I edited video it was on a linear system and I found some other texts a little confusing. This book enabled me to use my NLE system with confidence.
