A good way to start orvreview

Getting into someone else's work flow and technique is a great way to learn the nuts and bolts of editing. I really like that it is system and NLE agnostic. Editing is editing no.matter what tool mmm set you have. This book provides a strong view of how to edit and backs up the how with why.
