Early Splicing
Film splicing is where film is edited by cutting sections of the film and rearranging or discarding them. This technique of editing allowed the videos to follow this same criteria. The first early splicing was used by Edwin Porter, this was hand splicing and was also used for his film 'The Great Train Robbery' . -
The Moviola
One of the first film splicing machines appeared in 1924; it was called the Moviola and this was used by Edwin Porter and many other editors, as this allowed films to be lined up and held in place while it is cut or spliced together. It was created by Iwan Serrurier in 1924 and this machine is still used till today, in places such as Hollywood. One of the early editors who first bought the Moviola was Douglas Fairbanks, and one editor who won an academy award using Moviola was Michael Khan. -
TV and Video Editing
Video and Tv editing is basically an illusion or in a sense manipulation of arrange of different video shots; this is used to structure the presentation of all video information, in a film/movie and also television shows or video advertisements. This allows parts of videos which producers/directors or editors think is not good or may not be suitable for all audiences, instead of just recreating the whole movie again. Video editing contains different types of editing; Linear, Non-linear etc. -
Linear editing
Linear editing is video editing which is the post production process of videos; through the selection, modification and arrangement of different sound and images in a fixed, ordered sequence.
In early stages linear editing was done but cutting up tapes and gluing them back together, now a days it done on softwares easily. You must start from the first shot to the final shot and if the editor makes a mistake, it's considered as "impossible" to re-edit that scene, without creating the whole film. -
Non-linear editing
Non-Linear editing is basically the opposite of linear editing, where video footage is captured and placed into a computer hard drive and then this recorded footage is edited using specialized softwares such as one of the first "Avid", which is still used today by professionals. Once the edited video is complete, it can be moved and stored onto a tape or optical disk. It's different because non-linear allows you to be more flexible, as you can change any part of video any time, unlike linear
