I love MS 13, and have a new book that makes the learning curve flat landscape:
I begin my thoughts with a question: Why doesn’t Sony contract Steve Grisetti to do their manuals? This should give you a clue as to where I’m going with this.
Most of us dig right in without even consulting the Help/Manual file. This only changes when we hit the proverbial brick wall; a shame to be sure. What you’ll be getting is 268 pages of to-the-point information on how to assemble your post production just the way you want it, as professional as you’re imagination dictates. For instance Chapter one is one, two, three in covering basics and it’s the closest thing to hand holding for the learner I’ve experienced. Every time I open the book I learn something new, or my memory is refreshed. This epistle is so loaded with information on How-To I will sometimes have a tendency to forget something previously learned, and “ Oh Boy Now” how it does come in handy for reference. This well-illustrated book, and the excellent Index will always point you in the right direction.
Sony Movie Studio Platinum 13 is an excellent, top grade editing program to be sure, and in this humble user’s mind quite capable of the most professional work. There is a learning curve, and this is where Steve’s book comes in as a Bible for video editors and their needs. Beginning with chapter two “Katie bar the door” you are spoon fed the how-tos and what-fors of editing procedures, getting media into the project and then what to do and how to do it. You organize, prep your clips into events and dress them any way you see fit. Trimmer and Timeline are covered beautifully and provides you with basics of editing. The fancier abilities of Movie Studio 13 are then inserted, explaining titling, video effects, audio effects, customizing transitions, and the all-important Keyframing. That done you’re shown prepping your movie for DVD and BluRay, and making the movie itself.
I personally could write a book on Steve Grisetti’s book, but you don’t need/want that. You simply want to feel the necessity for the wealth of information in this great piece of literature. If it’s education you want, you got it! This is my guide to better editing and learning of basics and techniques for video editing in Movie Studio 13. I have two words for you, “Buy it!” Er..how about a third word, “Today.”
And this is honestly how I feel. Thanks.
