This is going to be an ongoing series of posts that focus on my thoughts, techniques, and advise on video editing.  This post specifically will act as a table of contents for them.  Completed posts will be hyperlinked, while the rest will be posts I’m planning on writing.

1. Why most editing applications looks like each other,  except Avid Media Composer

2. The science of sound and how you can easily do cool things with it

3. WTF : NTSC = 29.97, 59.94, PAL = 25, 50

4. Interlacing explained and what you can do about it

5. How a film becomes a video (23.976 -> 29.97)

6. The alpha channel

7. Finding the moment in the footage and milking it for all you can (see and say vs say and see)

8. Is video tape dead? (and is that a good thing?)

9. Video scopes explained (at least my way of looking at them)

10.  WTF : Pixel aspect ratios explained

11.  Lets talk about color bars (just so I can feel old)

12. Color bit depth and how it can matter, as well as why it can be over hyped

13. Why 60P could convert to acceptable 24p footage, and why I think at times it fails

14. Why you should never pay for someone to convert 60P footage into 24P slow-mo
