It will teach you a lot about the sequence editor, but it does not cover the new compositing tools yet. @roboshobo: I wrote this sequence editor tutorial a while ago.

I'm sure that will illuminate many aspects about the compositing and video-editing. In the meantime, you could check the Tutorials section here at BlenderNation.

Voc007, Thanks for the suggestions, I appreciate your feedback. @bart, For me personally, it's more a case of being unable to afford a lot of the commercial apps. It's interesting in a way since "Free as in free beer" was never really supposed to be a focus of open source software. But it is undoubtedly one of the main reasons for the large number of people using open source products. In many cases, I would say that the open source software is the best, and in many cases I wouldn't, but for me personally, the choice often comes down to what I can afford. I actually got into Blender because I had to choose a 3D modelling package to use for a University project and Blender was the one that I thought was best for the job. Admittedly, I may have been using Blender for something a little off the beaten track, but it was still the one I wanted to use, and in that particular instance it had little to do with cost. @Kernon. Voc007,

As he is a professional director, I'm sure he's more proficient with other tools for editing and compositing, and that he'll simply get the job done with them faster. It makes no sense to switch to Open Source alternatives just for the sake of using Open Source, and more so if you're on a tight schedule. For my own professional work, I use whatever tool is either best fit for the job or that is the fastest/easiest to use. If that means using 'closed' software and paying a bill, so be it :) I wonder why everyone is 'advising' Robert to use Open Source tools for everything; I'm happy that he likes Blender for the 3D part of his workflow.
