What is Video Editing?

• Video editing is the process of editing segments of motion video production footage, special effects and sound recordings in the post-production process. Using video, a director can communicate non-fictional and fictional events. The goals of editing is to manipulate these events to bring the communication closer to the original goal or target. Video Editing is a visual art.

Linear Video Editing

• Linear video editing is a video editing post-production process of selecting, arranging and modifying images and sound in a predetermined, ordered sequence.

• Regardless whether captured by a video camera, tapeless camcorder, recorded in a television studio on a video tape recorder (VTR) the content must be

accessed sequentially.

Non-Linear Video Editing

• In video, a non-linear editing system (NLE) is a video editing (NLVE) or audio editing (NLAE) digital audio workstation (DAW) system which can perform random access non-destructive editing on the source material. It is named in contrast to 20th century methods of linear video editing and film editing.

• Non-linear editing is a video editing method which enables direct access to any video frame in a digital video clip, without needing to play or scrub/shuttle through adjacent footage to reach it, as was necessary with historical video tape linear editing systems.

• The NLE method is similar in concept to the "cut and paste" technique used in film editing. However, with the appropriation of non-linear editing systems, the destructive act of cutting of film negatives is eliminated. Non-linear, non-destructive editing methods began to appear with the introduction of digital video technology. It can also be viewed as the audio/video equivalent of word processing, which is why it is called desktop video editing.
