This is a review I posted previously on my site [...]:
REVIEW: The Avid Assistant Editor's Handbook: The go-to-guide for assistant editors learning about Avid and their jobs.
I always find reviewing books about editing, particularly books about the technology we as editors use, difficult. They aren't difficult to read, its just once you've read one book on the technology there isn't anything new that you can learn from reading another book on the same technology.
This is where Kyra Coffie's book The Avid Assistant Editor's Handbook: The go-to-guide for assistant editors learning about Avid and their jobs comes in and alters my view. Coffie has found a unique niche, the assistants need for technology knowledge specific to their roles. Many Avid handbooks simply regurgitate the users manual that comes with the software. Coffie, is an experienced assistant editor in Los Angeles and host of the Avid Assistant Editor's blog, a blog that focuses on helping educate the next generation of Assistants, is giving knowledge needed for the assistant to do their job well.
The information contained in her book goes beyond the usual manual and into actual tricks and techniques Assistants need to know. (*AHEM* *Cough* Assistants! Might want to purchase this). Here's an example of her knowledge based on experience.
In Appendix 2: Deck Configuration, Coffie, describes configuring decks with your Avid system. But she goes beyond the manual into the editing room when she breaks down the potential reasons that Avid might not be seeing the deck and how to work around them, a small but time saving element, not referenced in the Avid manual.
Before I begin this review, a few words about assistant editors -- they are the unsung heroes of post.
In the beginning, before nonlinear, generally assistant editors (except those involved in feature work) wore totally different hats than they do now. They loaded and cleaned tape machines, did layoffs for dupes, made copies of finished tapes, checked specs, slated and laid bars and tone, kept things manageable for editors and worked extremely long hours. But they usually didn't get deep into the editor's domain.
Today, they still work long hours, and still clean up after the editors they work with...but now, in the accelerated atmosphere of nonlinear, fast-turnaround and high-volume editing deadlines, they are our eyes, ears, (sometimes our brains) and our first line of defense. They prescreen, prepare and sometimes save us from ourselves.
In the dark of night, with ranks of producers, executives, changes and deadlines having taken their toll on an editor's health and psyche, the bond with their AE can be forged in blood. I've been there.
A good AE -- a truly good AE -- is hard to find and worth their weight in gold. They can spell the difference between a good edit and a great edit. Not enough can be said...they are my heroes.
Kyra Coffie is obviously one of those rare and extraordinary individuals, she is the AE's AE, and her new book is a painstakingly thorough, researched and exhaustive guide to how to achieve that valued stature of an editor's closest ally.
I have never seen a more detailed explanation of the AE's duties.
