Lumiera is to be a *professional non-linear video editor*. It
is important to note that by ``professional'' we do not necessarily imply
``commercial'' or even ``industrial''. We do, however, wish to suggest an
attitude or frame of mind in how we approach this work, but not the goal,
requirement or purpose of this work. The concept of professionality in film
editing can indicate something of an artistic nature, suggest that there is
a narration, meaning or political messages revealed by the work; or, simply,
that the work attempts to convey something to an audience.
With this perspective in mind, we can identify a number of key properties
film production tools should have to be considered professional

your audience, to let them see, feel and perceive.
