Traditional editing started with the “off-line” rough edit version, where the basic shots were assembled. After the artistic decisions were made, a final on-line session was then done, usually in a broadcast edit suite to add titles, effects, and to fix the color and sound. It was cheaper to first make a rough cut and then make the “on-line” final, using a more costly Broadcast system.

  This was a very time consuming process, and after the final “on-line” editing was complete, making even small changes became very difficult and costly. And naturally, there was always going to be something that needed to change.

  Today, with non-linear editing, making changes can be quick and easy to do. Saving different sequences or versions of the same program, as it is being made, allows for more creativity and a streamlined work flow.

  Non-linear is the way of the future. And AVID is clearly the best digital editing system available. AVID lets you work smarter, not harder!
