ABSTRACT
Combustion has the ability to work with audio and video in a manner much like
a non-linear editing application; however, it should be understood that the
tools in combustion are designed for different purposes than the likes of
long-form editors such as Avid, Premiere or Pro-Tools. First and foremost,
combustion is an effects tool for motion graphics and the like. If you want to
cut a feature film or remix the next number one hit album, you should not look
to do it in combustion. You could, but you probably don’t want to. You can do
a lot with a hammer, but you would not use one to drive in a woodscrew. It is
really about picking the right tool for the right job.
