2. Editing at home
 There are a number of software options
editors can use to edit at home, the ones
they go for depends on the editors
personal preference and what they want
to achieve. Even the most advanced
editing software can be set up in a
bedroom: all is needed is a memory in the
editors computer to be able to work with
the rushes.

3. Editing in a facility
 This is where finances will again be

with any facilities house then you might
be able to use ‘down time,' at weekends
or in the evenings. Alternatively, you can
buy a copy of Screen International or
Broadcast and see the listings in the back.

yourself and going into a post-production
house is to hire a kit from someone, who
will also (for a price) edit for you. e.g. Avid
