Process of video editing
The term video editing can has two meanings, the non-linear editing system, where computers are used to arrange the footage and the linear video editing system, where footage is copied directly from one videotape to another.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 into a computer system where it is stored on the hard drive as video files. Editing software, such as those from Avid, Apple or Adobe, 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.
Though the tools change over time the process of editing remains the same. Original footage is trimmed (desired parts are isolated, bad parts are removed) and cut together (arranged in time) to create a video or programme. Editing involves the use of various transitions between clips such as the cut, dissolve, and wipe. Editing is an art that is very time consuming and deceptively easy at first glance. It is a difficult thing to do well and requires a tremendous amount of focus, patience, creativity, and attention to detail.
In motion picture terminology, a montage (from the French for "putting together" or "assembly") is a film editing technique. (more)
