Video Editing
About Video Editing
Video editing translates raw camcorder footage into polished, professional
productions you’ll be proud to show. It usually involves two aspects: Remov-
ing unwanted footage and adding elements, such as titles and effects.
While film is edited by cutting and splicing lengths of film, videotape
cannot be practically spliced. So video editing is done by selective copying.
The raw footage is played by one machine and a separate VCR records the
results on a new tape. The two machines are controlled, either by hand or
automatically, to make sure the final tape contains just the scenes you want.
An editing system such as Videonics Thumbs Up is often used to control the
tape machines, making sure the correct scenes end up in the correct place.
Whether you edit manually or automatically, the techniques for adding titles
are similar.
