Video Editing and Post Production: A Professional Guide, Fourth Edition

Summary: Disappointing and Outdated
Review: I was looking for something covering video post production topics completely. Although the name gives such an impression this book is not a good choice: First of all It is a little bit old fashioned and outdated. The subjects are not covered in depth and there are some parts that are really hard to understand. This is not a "guide", this is not a real "textbook" so it is inbetween.

Summary: The Best Linear Editing Book!
Review: This text book has been used to instruct students in the technical art of linear video editing for many years. The only glitch is how many people need instruction in linear editing? It starts off with a brief history of video edting, talks about time code, editors, editing with multiple machines, gets a little technical with the analog video signal, introduces you to a typical linear post system, audio for post, how to organise your post project and ends with a look into the future. Except that the future is now!
