Film editing is a style of editing audio-visual material that evolved from the process of physically cutting and taping together pieces of film, using a viewer such as a Moviola? or Steenbeck to look at the results. When the work print has been cut to a satisfactory state, it is then used to make a negative cutting list, which is used by a [negative cutter]? to cut A and B rolls prior to optical printing to produce the final film print. Since the film was physcially cut and pasted, a 'non-linear' style of editing evolved, generally considered superior to that evolved in the 1970s in electronic [video editing]?, which involved repeated over-recording from tape to tape. In recent years, 'film editing' has come to mean what a 'film editor' does, even though the work involved is now generally performed on a computer-based [non-linear editing system]?, such as Avid?, Lightworks or [Speed Razor]?. If the end product is to be a traditional movie, the final negative cutting list is produced from the software, and the negative cutting process occurs as before. In other cases, an [edit decision list]? may be generated for a video editing system. With the emergence of digital cinema, there is now a movement towards all-digital assembly of the final product, such as in CFC's [Digital Lab]? process. |
