What is Video Editing?
Video editing refers to taking various clips or segments of video and "cutting" them together to form a cohesive and concise program. Cutting comes from the movie industry because traditional movie film is actually cut with a razor and spliced together.Prior to the 90's video editing was done in linear style which consisted of using multiple decks to piece together a program. One or more play decks would run the original footage and an editor would use a video controller or mixing console to play specific parts out to a master deck that recorded the final program including titles and music (which were added in during the process).
Non-linear editing is done using computers. Footage is played back from a camera into a PC via IEEE 1394 connection (also called Firewire, iLink) where it is captured on the hard drive. Editing software, such as Adobe Premiere or Avid Xpress DV, then allows the editor to easily manipulate the captured footage. Clips are arranged on a timeline, music tracks and titles are added, effects can be created, and the finished program is "rendered" into a finished video that can be distributed in a variety of ways via DVD, webstreaming, CDROM, or tape.
