Camcorderinfo has a new weekly column written by Steve Mullen. The column is entitled “Edit to the Maxx - The Art of the Digital Cut“, and will focus on helping you edit and get your projects out.

“Every other week, I will provide you with real, straightforward information that will enable you to edit video and audio. As the weeks progress, I will go deeper into the art and technology of video editing.”

He promises to cover both SD and HDV video, and any NLE-specific information will be centered around Avid’s FreeDV software. This is mainly because FreeDV is available free of charge on both Windows and Mac systems.

“Over the coming weeks we will cover the following topics: Planning Your Shoot, Logging Your Tapes, Planning Your Edit, Capturing DV/HDV, Create a Sequence, Clip Trimming, Add Clips to a Sequence, Basic Timeline Editing, Precision Timeline Trimming, Add Video Effects (Filters) to a Clip, Work with Audio, Add Transitions, Use Video and Audio Inserts, Create Titles, Export to DV/HDV, Color Correction, and many more.”

It looks like a great article series, Steve really knows his stuff.
