Edit Better was made for video editors who consider themselves advanced hobbyists or growth-minded professionals, artists who know that the tools of editing matter far less than the knowledge of how to use those tools powerfully. This audiobook does not illuminate the workings of Avid, Final Cut, or Premiere, and is not a meditation on film editing. What it is: a provocative, wide-ranging collection of strategies and tactics for the creative application of TV and video editing, no matter your editing tools.

A decent intro to filmmaking but not very detailed in the process. There are some helpful tips here but don’t try to make a collage course out of it.

Don't waste your money
I was hoping to get some insight on trying to produce a film as an indie filmmaker, instead I got a very broad and generic intro to filmmaking, with a sprinkle of helpful information. Most of the information in this book you can get from YouTube videos and web articles. It is far from the “ultimate” guide it claims to be.

Good for beginners
Not a bad guide for the absolute beginner but if you’ve been exposed to or interested in filmmaking for any amount of time this will probably feel like a lightly surfaced rehash of everything you already know. There are some nice (familiar) inspiring quotes from legendary filmmakers and a few good nuggets here and there so still worth a listen.
