editing videotape in a digital computer. The original footage is played by a VCR and digitized. Using computer programs the digitized footage is manipulated into the desired program. The finished program is laid off onto a master. The master is duplicated for distribution
A type of editing in which you do not need to assemble the program from beginning to end. The nature of the medium and the technical process of manipulating that medium do not dictate how the material must be physically ordered. You can use nonlinear editing for traditional film cutting and splicing, and for digitized video images. You can make changes at the beginning, middle, or end of the sequence.
Digital "random access" editing that uses a hard drive instead of tape to store images. Random access allows easy arrangement of scenes in any order. Also eliminates the need for rewinding and allows for multiple dubs without generation loss.
the ability to edit video and audio in non-sequential patterns
Digital "cut and paste" editing that uses computer hard drives instead of tape to store images. Random access allows easy arrangement of scenes in any order. Also eliminates the need for rewinding and allows for multiple dubs without generational loss.
When you use a nonlinear editing application to edit a program, all footage used is stored on a hard disk rather than on tape. This allows random access to all video, audio, and images as you edit. The advantage is that, unlike linear editing on tape, edits within the program can be changed at any time without having to recreate the entire edit.
Digital editing style stores images on a hard drive rather than tape. Allows random access to images and "cut and paste" style arrangement of footage. Allows individual edits to be changed without necessitating the alteration of following edits. In contrast to analog or linear editing.

Nonlinear refers to not having to edit the program in the order of start to finish to keep the continuity of the program intact. Thus if you change one part of the program, it won't effect the impact of the flow into the next segment of that show or program. Its main advantages are: 1. Allows you to reorganize clips or make changes to sections without having to redo the entire production. 2. Very fast random access to any point on the hard disk (typically 20-40 ms)
Process of editing audio or video where the entire video is available at any given moment.
Nonlinear distinguishes editing operation from the "linear" methods used with tape. Nonlinear refers to not having to edit material in the sequence of the final program and does not involve copying to make edits. It allows any part of the edit to be accessed and modified without having to reedit or recopy the material that is already edited and follows that point. Nonlinear editing is also nondestructive, as it uses computer hard disks rather than videotape.
A type of editing where video clips can be copied, edited, and rearranged without having to rerecord previous edits, as would be necessary with traditional editing. The digital nonlinear editing process is nondestructive, as it uses computer hard drives rather than videotape. Nonlinear editing software for home PCs is easy enough to use that nonprofessionals can edit quality productions.()
The process of editing using rapid retrieval (random access) computer controlled media such as hard disks, CD-ROMs and laser discs. Its main advantages are: Allows you to reorganize clips or make changes to sections without having to redo the entire production. Very fast random access to any point on the hard disk (typically 10-20 ms) (See EDITING)
A computer based process in which footage is digital recorded (also called digitized) onto hard drives. Once on the hard drives the footage can be assembled in a nonlinear fashion. The process provides flexibility similar to that of creating a document in a word processor, allowing such functions as cut, copy, paste, drop. To see a picture of a nonlinear system click here.
