Linear Video Editing – Three Main Categories

Linear video editing has three main categories. In-camera editing involves taking shots in correct order and length using no other equipment but the camcorder. This requires good shooting and organizational skills.

Assemble Editing involves taking shots in no specific order during shooting. Afterwards, those shots that are not needed are removed and the remaining ones are assembled. This category uses at least a camcorder and VCR.

Assemble editing has two types – roll editing and insert editing. Insert editing involves the recording of new material over existing footage. Here, the unwanted part of the footage is “overwritten” with a new one.
