Toronto Video Editing





Linear video editing is the process of selecting, arranging and modifying the images and sound recorded on video tape whether captured by a video camera or recorded in a studio. Until the advent of computer based non-linear editing in the early 1990s "linear video editing" was simply called “video editing” .

Television was basically a "live" medium until the introduction of videotape. "Editing" was performed by "switching" from amongst two or more cameras, with much the same effect as film edits. The first widely-accepted videotape in the United States was 2 inches wide and travelled at 30 inches per second. To gain enough head-to-tape speed, 4 video recording and playback heads were spun on a head wheel 'across' most of the 2 inch width of the tape. (Audio and synchronization tracks were recorded along the sides of the tape with stationary heads.) This system was known as Quad. (more)
