How the library is organised

These are craft tutorials rather than tool documentation: the decisions that make an edit work, written so they apply whichever editor you use. Each article is filed under one of four categories and marked with a level, so the same library can be read either as a subject — everything about sound, everything about colour — or as a path from beginner to advanced.

VisualsHow the frame looks once the cut is locked — exposure, matching, grading.
AudioRecording, cleaning, levelling, and placing music under a voice.
