Linear vs Non Linear Editing

In the early days of electronic video production, linear (tape-to-tape) editing was the only way to edit video tapes. Then, in the 1990s, non-linear editing computers became accessible and opened a total new globe of editing power and elasticity.

Non-linear editing was not welcomed by each and many editors resisted the new wave. In calculation, early digital video was plagued with performance issues and uncertainty. However, the compensation of non-linear video eventually became so overwhelming that they could not be ignored.

In the 21st Century non-linear gained authority and linear editing headed towards obsolescence. During this time the explanation "non-linear" was slowly abandoned as it was no longer essential—almost all editing was now digital and the "non-linear" aspect was assumed. Linear was dead.

What is Video Editing?

What is Video Editing?

Video editing is the process of manipulate and rearrange video shots to create a new work. Editing is usually considered to be one part of the post production process — other post-production tasks include titling, colour correction, sound mixing, etc.

The Goals of Editing

There are a lot of reasons to edit a video and your editing advance will depend on the desired outcome. Before you initiate you must clearly define your editing goals, which could include any of the following:

Remove unnecessary footage

This is the simplest and most common task in editing. Many videos can be considerably improved by simply getting rid of the flawed or unnecessary bits.

Choose the best footage

It is common to shoot far more footage than you actually need and choose only the best material for the final edit. Often you will shoot some versions (takes) of a shot and choose the best one when editing.
