As this is set to become the predominant on-line editing technology it is vital for both users and engineers to understand how it will affect their work and how to take advantage of its many opportunities. However, as the restrictions of tape-based operations are so ingrained it can be hard to understand how things can be done so differently, particularly as the new approach is such a direct approach to the business of editing. It describes how familiar operations, such as conforming, re-work and archiving benefit from the new technology, as well as how it can be used to ease the creative process and to improve the final programme.

Part 2 provides answers to many of these questions as well as providing supporting and background information to Part 1.
