About Video/Film Editing Editing is part of the creative post-

production process of filmmaking/Video. Editor works with the raw footage,

selecting shots and combining them into sequences to create a finished motion picture.

Editor must creatively work with the layers of images, story, dialogue, music, pacing, as well as the actors' performances to effectively "re-imagine" and even rewrite the film to craft a cohesive whole.

History

Early films by Edison (whose company invented a motion camera and projector) and others were short films that were one long, static, locked-down shot. Motion in the shot was all that was necessary to amuse an audience, so the first films simply showed activity such as traffic moving on a city street.  There was no story and no editing.

In 1899, Edison hired Edwin Stanton Porter and soon put him in charge of his New York motion picture studio. 

Porter is generally thought to be the first American filmmaker who experimented with film editing. Porter worked on a number of minor films before making Life of an American Fireman in 1903.

Types of Editing

Linear Editing

Linear video editing is a video editing post-production process of selecting, arranging and modifying images and sound in a predetermined, ordered sequence. Regardless of whether it was captured by a video camera, tapeless camcorder, or recorded in a television studio on a video tape recorder (VTR) the content must be accessed sequentially. For the most part video editing software has replaced linear editing.

Types of Editing

Non Linear Editing

A non-linear editing system (NLE) is a video (NLVE) or audio editing (NLAE) digital audio workstation (DAW) system that performs non-destructive editing on source material. The name is in contrast to 20th century methods of linear video editing and film editing.

Non Linear Editing

The first truly non-linear editor, the CMX 600, was introduced in 1971 by CMX Systems, a joint venture between CBS and Memorex. It recorded & played back black-and-white analog video recorded in "skip-field" mode on modified disk pack drives the size of washing machines. These were commonly used to store about half an hour of data digitally on mainframe computers of the time. The 600 had a console with 2 monitors built in. The right monitor, which played the preview video, was used by the editor to make cuts and edit decisions using a light pen. The editor selected from options superimposed as text over the preview video. The left monitor was used to display the edited video.

What Video Editors Do

Evaluate and select scenes in terms of  the story line that improves the value or story continuity.

Edit raw footage and review assembled videotape on screen or monitor to make any color corrections, or other video quality corrections.

Trims  or crops video segments to specified edits and reassembles segments in sequence that presents the story with maximum effect and within the final project’s parameters.  For example,  a video editor might be asked to review 15 hours of video to make a half-hour infomercial.

Use professional digital editing software and equipment, such as Adobe Premiere Pro or Apple’s Final Cut Pro, to insert music, narration and dialogue and sound effects to a video.
