2. What is Video Editing?
Video editing is the process of manipulating and
rearranging video shots to create a new work. In the
film industry editing is considered part of the post-
production process–that is it is a process taking place after
production, or the filming/collection of imagery.
3. Types of Video Editing
Linear Editing.
Live Editing.
Online Editing.
Offline Editing.
Non-linear video editing.
4. Linear Editing
In the past, film editing was done in linear fashion, where
film reels were literally cut into long strips divided by takes
and scenes, and then glued or taped back together to create a
logical sequence of film. Linear video editing is more time
consuming and highly specialised and tedious work.
5. Live Editing
Live Editing is where there are various
cameras at various angles and position,
capturing single or multiple subjects and
the footage is routed through a vision
mixing device and edited and transmitted
in real-time.
6. Online Editing
Online editing is a post-production linear video editing process
that is performed in the final stage of a video production. It
occurs after offline editing. For the most part, online editing has
been replaced by video editing software that operate on non-
linear editing systems (NLE). High-end post-production
companies still use the Offline-Online Editing workflow with
NLEs.
