What is it?
Digital video editing or non-linear is the way
video programmes are edited today. This software technology has
impacted in much the same way
that Desktop Publishing replaced manual cut and paste in Print & Design
studios.
Advanced digital
editing and compositing is also available,
offering sophisticated features that raise corporate video production
to the level of television commercials and even film if a HD camera
is used..

How It Works
Raw video footage, the rushes, are digitally transferred to a
high speed AV hard disk, at broadcast quality. The digital video
footage is now ready to edit on a twin processor PC specifically
dedicated
to
this process.
|
Once the footage is on disk, non-linear
video editing software permits greater flexibility and cost-effectiveness
compared with
traditional reel-to-reel. Editing time is significantly reduced.
It works in a similar way to word processing text. For example,
a clip of images can be cut and pasted, cut again if required,
and
re-pasted
anywhere within the programme. All this is done without any compromise
in picture quality. In addition it allows numerous attractive editing
effects, great audio, and it's relatively easy to learn. These
days there is even free public domain software so a novice could
learn
the
basics
without a cost penalty.
