Digital/computer (Non-linear)
Digital media first started in 1992. Digital media is a form of electronic media where data are stored in digital (as apposed to analogue) form. Moreover, digital editing is the use of computers to order and manipulate this digital data. There are many different editing programs such as Adobe Premier, Avid and Final Cut Pro. The whole process is electronic so there is no printing or splicing involved. Additionally, digital editing soon took over video editing as it is much quicker.
