ABSTRACT

Remember I said the hard, technical part of nonlinear editing was at the beginning, setting up and setting preferences, importing, and logging; the fun part was the editing in the middle; and the easy part was the outputting at the end? Well, we're finally up to the easy part: the output. Basically, when outputting, you're delivering your media in some digital form, whether it's heavily compressed for low-bandwidth web delivery or a high-resolution, uncompressed HD or higher format; you're delivering a digital master.
