Postproduction and Distribution

The first part of the chapter examines the common ideas and steps for nonlinear editing, and is intended as a companion to your editing software’s manuals. The next section explores the various means to get your project seen, and then a section on technical concepts familiarizes you with the basics of how the recording, editing, playback, and storage technology works. The final section explores aesthetic or theoretic principles of editing: the constructs of audiovisual storytelling.
