Video Editing Books


Could you recommend me some book on algorithms about video editing? I would like to understand the principals algorithms of image manipulation. This is not for a commercial project, is only for learn. I don't want to learn some graphics library, I want to learn the algorithms of image manipulation


Solution

  • There aren't really any algorithms for video editing - you just store all the footage, index it and display it.

    There is a lot to learn about color spaces, how to convert between them, adjusting colors, brightnesses etc.

    Most of the algorithm bit is in compression, most compression schemes are based on the ideas in JPEG so any background on that might be usefull. There are a few print versions with comments on the H264 standard but I don't know any of them.
