“Hardly anyone realizes that Blender even is a video
compositing and non-linear editing tool (in addition to its
modeling, rendering, and animation capabilities). There are few, if
any, books available on how to use it for that purpose, so Roger
Wickes’ book is much needed. It contains an enormous amount of very
useful information.

“It’s important for me to say that, because while the book
contains lots of useful, well-explained information, it also
contains a lot of dross which has to be tolerated or ignored. So
this review may come off as a bit of a nit-picking session. In my
opinion, the author spent too little time organizing and trimming
the fat from his own prose, and the editors were basically asleep
at the switch.”
