Is Hybrid Editing For You?
Jay Coley authors this discussion on linear and non-linear and why a HYBRID system that combines both may be your best overall solution. Linear editing? What's that? The term "linear" was the process of copying selected material from source tapes to an edited master tape, if you wanted to make a change, you would have to re-record everything that followed your change. The term "non-linear" became widely used because video media is stored on disk, and to locate and view a particular scene is immediate wiht random access. (04/17/2001)
