- 3. Thou shalt not mix tape brands, nor shalt thou allowest them to
intermingle freely, lest ye recieveth thy glitch.
- 4. Honor thy Alimighty Vectorscope and thy Almighty Waveform Monitor, for
in Darkness and in Light art thou guided by them.
- 5. Thou shalt not covet thy scene transition for the sake of vanity, but
shalt thou cut with reason and purpose, and only then, keeping thy

- 6. Thou shalt have thy proper subject on screen at the proper time, thy
speaker when he speaketh, thy reactor when he reacteth, thy glance and
then thy object.
- 7. Thou shalt not cross axis.
- 8. Cast down thy recording tabs and breaketh them, and if thy tabs
slideth, and not breaketh, then shalt thee slidith thy tabs into the
"save" position, so that thine precious video might then be saved from
eternal loss.
- 9. Loggeth thee thy master tapes, and with marked labels shalt thee cover
them, for their nakedness is sinful.
- 10 Thou shalt not linger too long in black, lest thy viewer kick his TV
set reproachfully, thinking it hath conked out again.
