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.
