NLE Textbook Recommendation?
Is there a text book that talks about the principles of Non-linear editing without getting specific with a certain brand of software?
It would be a drag to have to explain six different ways to do a cross-fade, for example, hehe. JR |

Moved from Open DV to Read About It.
I have Robert Goodman's "Editing Digital Video" and can recommend it as a good text about editing principles which is not tied to any NLE platform in particular. Available through our Amazon Store here: http://astore.amazon.com/din0a-20/de...722088-7151139 |

Walter Murch's book, the name escapes me.
It's not a textbook and it has rants and raves, but there is definitely some gold in it.

Agree with another poster about Transitions, it is a great read - though not a textbook (no exercises, etc).

I think it's called "The Blink of an Eye"
And it's pretty decent, but a little more "philosophical" to be used as a textbook. JR |

Seems to me you just want a good book on editing in general. Does anyone do linear editing anymore? I used to do linear editing back in the day (circa ’85) on the Sony RM-440. Looking back, what a pain in the butt that was. Thank God for Final Cut Pro and the like.
