Video editing software
From Free net encyclopedia
Video editing software is application software that handles the editing of video sequences on a computer. It usually includes the ability to import and export video, cut and paste sections of a video clip, add special effects and transitions, and sometimes includes the ability to encode the video for creation of a DVD. Video editing software generally also allow for some limited editing of the audio clips that accompany the video or, at least, the ability to sync the audio with the video.
Lightworks and Avid are both pioneers in video editing software and have a great influence on how films and TV programmes are edited. Both systems use custom hardware for video processing.
With the availability of commodity video processing hardware, specialist video editing cards, and computers designed specifically for non-linear video editing, many software packages are now available to work with them.
