Video editing

Video editing is referred to as it is the alteration and arranging of video footage. Videos such as films and television programmes, as well as video commercials and video essays, are structured and presented via the use of video editing software. Video editing has become much more accessible in recent years, thanks to the availability of editing software for personal computer systems. Many technologies have been developed to assist individuals in the process of video editing since it may be time-consuming and challenging. To provide consumers with a more natural and quick method to edit video, pen-based video editing software was created.

When it comes to the post-production process, video editing is the act of cutting together portions of motion video production footage, special effects, and audio recordings. In many aspects, video editing replicates motion picture film editing, both in terms of theory and in the use of linear video editing and video editing software on non-linear editing systems. Motion picture film editing is considered to be the precursor of video editing (NLE). Director may transmit nonfictional and fictitious events with the use of video technology. The purpose of editing is to change these occurrences in order to get the communication closer to its original aim or intent. A visual art form, to put it mildly.

A 2-inch Quadruplex VTR was edited in the early 1950s using ferrofluid to visualise the recorded track, cutting it with a razor blade or guillotine cutter, and splicing it together with video tape because video tape recorders (VTR) were so expensive and the quality degradation caused by copying was so great. The two pieces of tape that were to be linked were coated with a solution of very tiny iron filings suspended in carbon tetrachloride, a poisonous and carcinogenic substance, to make them stick together. After that, the tracks "developed," becoming visible when seen via a microscope, making it possible to align them in a splicer specifically built for this purpose.
