Terrible...just terrible.
Nothing but the best from the king of highbrow, techno babble. If you really want to foray into the world of nonlinear editing stay away from this book. Read mine...my name is Dwight Camerron and you'll find my book by May 1998, Nonlinear Editing is 'da Bomb.

This review is from: Nonlinear: A Guide to Digital Film and Video Editing (Paperback)
I was very fortunate to stumble onto this book in its earliest incarnations, back when Hollywood was just beginning its massive shift away from decades of traditional ways of doing film & video post-production. At the time, I'd realized that Nonlinear was the next big thing, but welcomed some expert help in riding that paradigm shift to a very different way of working.Yet in a technical subject that might have been daunting to explain, Rubin comes across as a very down-to-earth and unpretentious friend who knows precisely what he's talking about, but is secure enough in that knowledge (having started out working for George Lucas in the dawn of the modern nonlinear era) that he doesn't have to resort to a bunch of techno-babble to get his wisdom across. He covers all the essentials of film/video post-production, both traditional and nonlinear; puts it in a valuable perspective with forty years of video editing history (anyone remember the CMX 600?); and wraps it up with an essay on "horizontal" vs. "vertical" nonlinearity that makes the future of the technology entirely clear as well. And the big paradigm shift? It's as plain as "the folded paper method", p.183-193 (itself worth the price of admission). As he states, the book is about Fundamentals -- those that are universal and constant no matter how many vendors rise & fall, and regardless of how many software patches they spew out in the process. I guess you could say that Michael Rubin has been my "mentor". Many other pros working in the field today would probably say the same thing.
