I admire you guys. I revised a book from Premiere Pro 1.0 to Premiere Pro 1.5 and it was more work than I ever want to do again. I found my niche. I get paid to follow the instructions in other people's books as they write them. Not as much money, but much easier, by far.
Writing technical books is tough. Very tough. I have seen some of the Vegas books and they look pretty good. And, I really like the way Focal produced Tim Kolb's book on Premiere Pro. Great color pics. So maybe working with Focal will work out for you. |

Some additional history...
And for those folks who started editing after video became more common-place than film in corporate production, but long before the e=mc2, avid, cube, fcp, vegas, etc., it was also referred to as a "split-edit" on many machine controllers.
I won't give up my vegas, but it was fun to have a 286 computer with a full-control keyboard with jog/shuttle, running 4 BetaCamSP decks, an audio mixer and a video switcher all in sync. Well, at least they were usually in sync by the time their 5-second preroll was completed... I got pretty good at reading looooong printouts of timecode numbers. http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/attachmen...1&d=1168980821 |

Ty,
DSE covered this really well, but since you use FCP, I figured visuals from an actual FCP timeline might make things even clearer. These are shrunken screen grabs from my DVD series StartEditingNow - that I use to illustrate J-cuts and L-cuts. The basic point is that in a J-cut - the audio keeps rolling across the video edit. In an L-cut the video keeps rolling across an audio edit. Hope this helps. (from someone who, in my early days, always appreciated the virtues of over-explanation!) |
