subject: Make Good Quality Videos And The Operation Of Linear Video Editing [print this page] The majority of today's promising videographers tend to be more acquainted with non-linear video editing. But are you aware that there is the named 'linear video editing'? Before the introduction of computer-based editing software in the nineties, video editing was mostly linear. The process involves selecting and coordinating audio and images on a videotape. These kinds of sounds and images are modified whether or not they are produced from computer graphics or video camera. The medium utilized was mainly the tv. Shot edits were carried out mostly in live TV productions. Greater than two cameras are utilized and the shot edits were carried out by transitioning from one camera to another. Video switchers allowed the management of many synchronized inputs and at the same time, combining them into one output. Using the switcher, cuts are conveniently done in varied video sources and in wipes, dissolves, and fades.
Contemporary live Television productions keep to the same linear editing structure but due to technological advancement, the shows are much more efficient and effective. The airing of shows and movies continuously was just possible with kinescope but that was before the videotape was invented. With kinescopes, picture degradation was a problem as well as evident scan lines and image distortions. Delay on programming was also another problem because the kinescopes were processed in film labs. A result of the tedious process with kinescopes, the videotape was made. Later, videotape editing had become viable just like film editing.
The 1st acknowledged videotape was the quadruplex recording, about two inches in width. The tape was cut and spliced to carry out editing steps. The task was arduous and not many videographers implemented it. It involved many disadvantages such as - you cannot utilize edited tapes all over again, you have to be skilled enough to execute the procedure, lose sync, and each editing task should need several minutes (too time consuming). Are you familiar with the TV show - 'Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In'? This series used the arduous linear editing process. The hand editing was initially created in the 1960s. But because it involved roadblocks like short buzzing (audio), it was not used all the time. This approach was impractical for many producers. Movie makers are new to the procedure and that they can't extend their personal feedback. Documentary television productions barely used video because of these concerns.
Edit suites were developed by 1970s. It actually involved the use of computers. Time codes were utilized to synchronize auxiliary devices and tape machines. CMX, Ampex, and Sony created the edit systems. Only productions were able to enter the edit suites due to many of them are very much costly. Today, linear video editing is still being tried in newsrooms and several production establishments where recent technologies are not available. As a result of the enhancement in the present technology, linear editing is considerably less complicated. Compared with non-linear editing, linear editing will require you to carefully find out the skills of a good videographer. In addition, if video editing is merely your craft, you may look for non-linear editing.
Video editing features a very interesting history. Just imagine the videographers trimming tapes and making them together again to generate a final production; it seemed to be really costly, time consuming, and difficult. Thanks to the present technology, video editing has already been possible even in luxury of your abode. Yet still, if you need to try linear editing, begin getting experience now.
