Video Editing Industry

Video editing does not only involve modifying an exiting footage into something new or adding some features to make it better. The term video editing can also refer to:

1. non-linear editing system, using computers with video editing software. Non-linear editing for film and television postproduction is a modern editing method which involves being able to access any frame in a video clip with the same ease as any other. This method is similar in concept to the “cut and paste” technique used in film editing from the beginning.
   
2. linear video editing, using videotape. Linear video editing is the process of selecting, arranging and modifying the images and sound recorded on videotape whether captured by a video camera, generated from a computer graphics program or recorded in a studio. Until the advent of computer-based non-linear editing in the early 1990s “linear video editing” was simply called “video editing.”
