Book Description

Nonlinear editors are increasingly expected to perform graphic design and production tasks that were traditionally assigned to specialists. Adobe Photoshop is the application of choice in this domain because of its diverse tool set and popularity with third-party developers. Photoshop, and its plethora of instructional books, is principally designed for use in print and on the Web. There are many technical nuances to master this application for moving images.


Full-color presentations and hands-on tutorials demonstrate how to combine still and moving images. Fundamental concepts and techniques like transparency, pixel aspect ratio, and alpha channels are made precisely clear, and advanced techniques show how to use Photoshop as a character generator, color corrector, and animation tool. Interviews with notable guest editors and motion graphic artists, and a focus on time-efficient and automation techniques make this book a valuable resource for advanced users. The companion DVD includes video instruction, tutorial media, plug-ins, and foundation material for less-experienced users.

Master the graphic design and production skills required of today's digital video professional with this comprehensive guide to the video tools in Adobe Photoshop.

5 out of 5 stars Easy and thorough.......2007-09-04

As an "old school" Avid editor from big post houses, Photoshop was used for simple titles and the rest went to the graphics department or our hands were slapped.

The book only goes through the usefulness and purpose of nearly all Photoshop tools and their relevancy to video. It has tutorials showing all common video uses from cutting out photos, lower thirds, backgrounds, creating elements for motion graphics programs like After Effects, uses of masks and alpha channels and the many ways you can create them depending on circumstance and content. In addition, the book points out some of the differences with different versions of Photoshop so you can work through aspects even if you haven't updated to CS3 yet.

The accompanying DVD not only includes all the elements needed to complete each task, there's also supplemental "Podcasts" in which Richard Harrington actually SHOWS you how to do many of the key aspects of each tutorial.

This is a must have book for video editors who must now do it all since Photoshop is the Swiss Army Knife of video graphics.

I have been in multimedia for 5 years and is always learning. I like the fact that i don't know everything!
This book is a must for anyone in multimedia and graphic design.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent reference book.......2007-06-27

This is my second purchase of this series. I work with quite a few photos and found Richard Harrington's suggestions to be extremely helpful. The book provides insights that I haven't found elsewhere. This book is for those new to working with Photoshop for video as well as more seasoned users.

5 out of 5 stars Great book.......2007-06-11

I found this book to be very informative with plenty of step by step tutorials. I think beginners as well as experienced photoshop uers will find this book very handy. I keep it on my bookshelf as a handy reference.

5 out of 5 stars This is a GREAT PHOTO SHOP BOOK!!!.......2007-06-05

"Photoshop for Video" is not only a well written book on learning how to use Photoshop as an artistic tool to create graphics, with lots of Gee-Wiz tips, techniques & tutorials to make you a better designer and Photoshop user, but if you have anything or want to have anything to do with using Photoshop along with your favorite non-linear video application, buy this book NOW.
From DV to High Definition video this book is an indispensable reference guide on how to get your graphics from Photoshop into your editor correctly. The included DVD has 2 1/2 hours of training video, tutorials and images to work on to will help you sharpen your skills.
My favorite parts in the book are the so called "PROfile" sections' highlighting editors and motion graphic designers and detailing the many ways these pro's use Photoshop to make graphics and save time.

5 out of 5 stars A must read!.......2003-06-10

I Bought this book as a reference for technical issues (formats, standards, procedures) but I got much more. Button gives you the whole layout of this art/craft of film editing. The topics covered range from editing equipment to film theory, color harmony&design basics to writing resumes. Light, sound - this book covers it all. Not all topics are discussed in great length, but there are excellent reference lists for further reading and websites.
Bryce Button seems to be an experienced editor and a film scholar and clearly enjoys teaching.
I have been a film editor for 10 years -I've still learned a lot. Some of the information will be redundant to the more experienced but still- very well written, packed with knowledge, insight - in short, a real inspiration. Well Done!

4 out of 5 stars Very good advice for beginners.......2003-05-24

The book contains tons of very good advice for novice editors. The tips on planning will save a lot of time when the real work begins. The suggestions on the practical and aesthetic (including sound) aspects of editing will speed up the process and improve the quality of the finished work, perhaps by the equivalent of at least a few month's apprenticeship. The chapters on dealing with stress and team members, clients and the business, give an idea of the work environment to be expected. After reading the whole book, chapter 13 summarizes the most important tips as "cheat sheets" - very useful.

The only thing I didn't like was a number of typos, and what I thought was an occasional lapse in a couple of explanations.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent.......2002-11-22

I've read a number of books on the subject, and this is by far the best. Its clarity and concision put most of the others (such as the disorganized Ohanian books) to shame.

5 out of 5 stars Best technical book in the field.......2002-03-07

As a working (nonlinear) editor, and as an editing teacher, I can't recommend this book highly enough. Six years ago I made the switch from film to computer, with Michael Rubin's book as my constant companion. Rubin writes with a keen intelligence and an implied sympathy for both the professional editor and the student trying to make sense of the complex and rapidly-changing world of post production.

Because he IS an editor, Rubin is the only technical writer I know who is able to prioritize exactly what you need to know and to tell you why you need to know it. Like any good editor, he has the ability to think macro- and microscopically at once. His post-production flowcharts, history of nonlinear, and overview of systems and distribution are unsurpassed in the field. The down-and-dirty details of digital video- subjects like timecode, telecine and 3:2 pulldown, and compression algorithms- are clearly demystified. These are sections to which I still refer! This book is always in my cutting room as a reference, and when I teach I borrow examples from the book and urge my students to purchase their own copy.

This book contains another unique feature, which is an intellectual and practical interest in editing theory. Rubin has worked not only as an editor, but also in research and development at several companies during the dawn of nonlinear technology. Thus, he is able to pose and answer the most fundamental questions: Why do we need nonlinear technology? And how can that technology serve our creative needs? What might we see in the future?

This is a book that will be helpful for anyone who is already editing at any level, or for anyone just learning about the craft. Straightforward, well-organized, and filled with humor and wisdom, this is quite simply my favorite book about the technical side of editing.

5 out of 5 stars An Excellent Introduction to Video.......2002-02-07

Like many new editors, I came to Final Cut Pro with no NLE experience nor any knowledge of video whatsoever. In fact when I started, just over two years ago, there was not a single book on FCP. Since that time there have been a number of excellent books published about FCP. I have bought and read all of them.

During the past two years I have learned the terminology used with FCP video. But my knowledge is FCP-centeric. I had little understanding of video, it's relationship to film or it's history.

Last week I discovered "Nonlinear/4" written by Michael Rubin. I can best describe this book as a complete reference guide to all things video. But its actually more.

Each element covered in this book is in it's own section. Each section is brief, concise and clearly written. Very simple (read: clever) analogies are employed to help the reader gain understanding. While there is technical information, the book is not overly technical. There is a great deal of art, illustrations and photos. This art furthers the learning experience and is one reason that the book works so well, the art really illustrates the
lessons being taught.

The history of film and video runs throughout the book. This history is essential to understanding how and why video is what it is today.

I learned a great deal from this book and now have a better understanding of why things are the way they are. Our modern day NLE Digital video is the result of a long legacy, going all the way back to the early days of film. This book is a great reference guide as well with a full index at the back.

I am really glad that I came across Nonlinear/4. I truly have a better understanding of what's going on with Video and how it works. This knowledge will certainly help me with FCP.

This book helped me to put aside all doubt and really get a product. It made the process very easy and was a constant help throughout the whole editing experience. I feel a more competent and able editor thanks to this book. I hope everyone considers it when making their next purchase!

    Book Description

    Nonlinear Editing Basics is an essential guide for the student or professional to understanding nonlinear editing. Not a technical manual, this easy-to-understand guide to film and video post-production incorporates the basics of nonlinear editing along with the telecine bay, three two pulldown, and simple operation of five important and powerful editing systems. The author incorporates his experience with the Editbox, Media 100, Avid Lightworks, and DVision to bring not only an overview of the nonlinear process, but to describe the basic operation of each of these powerful editors.

    Regardless of whether one is looking for film or video information, this text explains the basics of both, as well as how they are interrelated. If there is a film project to be finished on video or a video project to finish in the nonlinear editor, the answer to how it is done can be found in this book.

    Starting with film and video basics, this book explains the integration of the nonlinear editor, as well as why some projects continue to cut workprint alongside the nonlinear editor. It addresses the use of the electronic editors to complete feature films in record time, in addition to the dangers of cutting on these quick and sometimes too powerful systems.

    The nonlinear editor can be mastered quickly and efficiently if the overall concept is understood. This text not only offers a clear, concise conceptual understanding, but also gives practical operation techniques using specific machines.

    Steven E. Browne is a Senior Editor in the Finishing Department of New Wave Entertainment in California. He is the author of two other Focal Press titles, Video Editing, now in its third edition, and Film/Video Terms and Concepts.

    5 out of 5 stars Timeless, and highly recommended.......1999-11-01

    I was very fortunate to stumble onto this book in its earliest incarnations, back when Hollywood was just beginning its massive shift away from decades of traditional ways of doing film & video post-production. At the time, I'd realized that Nonlinear was the next big thing, but welcomed some expert help in riding that paradigm shift to a very different way of working.

    Yet in a technical subject that might have been daunting to explain, Rubin comes across as a very down-to-earth and unpretentious friend who knows precisely what he's talking about, but is secure enough in that knowledge (having started out working for George Lucas in the dawn of the modern nonlinear era) that he doesn't have to resort to a bunch of techno-babble to get his wisdom across.

    He covers all the essentials of film/video post-production, both traditional and nonlinear; puts it in a valuable perspective with forty years of video editing history (anyone remember the CMX 600?); and wraps it up with an essay on "horizontal" vs. "vertical" nonlinearity that makes the future of the technology entirely clear as well. And the big paradigm shift? It's as plain as "the folded paper method", p.183-193 (itself worth the price of admission). As he states, the book is about Fundamentals -- those that are universal and constant no matter how many vendors rise & fall, and regardless of how many software patches they spew out in the process.

    I guess you could say that Michael Rubin has been my "mentor". Many other pros working in the field today would probably say the same thing.

    5 out of 5 stars *snicker*.......1998-06-04

    Mr.Camerron's comments speak well for his book. Interested parties should investigate all points of view, even those which appear... less than worthwhile. Nonlinear 3 continues to be adopted at film schools and corporate video groups in larger and larger numbers. Seek as much information as you can find.

    2 out of 5 stars Terrible...just terrible........1998-04-20

    Nothing but the best from the king of highbrow, techno babble. If you really want to foray into the world of nonlinear editing stay away from this book. Read mine...my name is Dwight Camerron and you'll find my book by May 1998, Nonlinear Editing is 'da Bomb.

      From the supplier: Desktop video (DTV) is becoming more accessible to educators with the advent of non-linear editing in digital video. Nonlinear editing is a process wherein images are randomly accessed from the hard drive, rather than used in the linear order of clips and source videotape. It requires digitizing and codec (compression/decompression) devices as well as display devices. DTV calls for powerful hardware that offers significant storage space. DOS users will need at least 16Mbytes of RAM and hard drives that can store up to 1Gbyte. Macintosh users require a high-end model such as the Centris 650 with a minimum of 8Mbytes of RAM and 300Mbytes of storage space. DTV software includes graphics and paint systems, full-featured non-linear editors and digital-video-effects systems.

      5 out of 5 stars Nuts and bolts survey of the world of non-linear editing.......1998-04-28

      Filmaking is at a unique point in time where the previously independant and separate realms of images are merging into a forced compatibility. Video, film and computer graphics are struggling to coexist and fit into some sort of standard. It can be very confusing and challenging to apply all this fresh emerging and changing technology into flowing art to deliver an esthetic message. This book brought me out of darkness and into the world of nonlinear editing. It is a perfect survey course for anyone having the need define clearly the technology available to the filmaker.

      Book Description

      Nonlinear is a buzzword for every broadcaster and facility house worldwide. Systems range from the humble to the exotic, and despite the growing acceptance of the technology, many users, both new and experienced, find the complexity of the operation and the time spent loading the material and rendering effects difficult to manage at first. Non-linear editing also comes with its own specialist language, requiring each editor to be conversant with a new range of skills from day one. As desktop systems improve the role of the traditional editor is constantly evolving and expanding.



      This is an operational manual for professional trainees and students in the post-production industry. It will also serve as a useful reference tool for producers and directors. Written in a concise and clear manner, the book serves as a practical guide to the efficient management and operation of non-linear editing systems. It describes the technology involved, the essential techniques to be mastered including on-line and off-line editing, project management, rendering effects, working with graphics and audio, and adding third party applications. Designed for quick and easy reference, this is a practical user guide to non-linear editing that comes complete with an extensive jargon buster that will get you fully conversant with the technology in a short space of time.
