\item[Chapter~\ref{cha:load_save_and_the_EDL}] \nameref{cha:load_save_and_the_EDL}.
+ The EDL is the list of changes that \CGG{} would make to the original media in order to produce the desired output
Since this is important to not losing your work, you should read this chapter for some basic usage concepts and for some lesser used functions that may come in handy.
Besides how to Load and Save files, there is also information on using raw camera formats.
- Helpful hints on working with image sequences, such as a bunch of pictures from your camera all loaded at once, is a time saver.

\item[Chapter~\ref{cha:editing}] \nameref{cha:editing}.
New and occasional users will find it necessary to read this chapter. However, you can decide which editing mode you prefer and concentrate on reading that section.
\item[Chapter~\ref{cha:keyframes}] \nameref{cha:keyframes}.
This is a more advanced topic but extremely useful to know.
- Keyframes are data values that have been associated to the timeline that affect the media presentation.
