Movie Editing

Basically, the process of editing is sequencing a film or video's picture and audio together to make a new cultural artifact. If you're unfamiliar with editing, we will help you to get acquainted with such an art.

Founded and operated by Yash Media Ltd / Raj Film Productions, Yash Media Ltd / Raj Film Productions is a one-stop Talent / Modeling online platform, where casting directors, producers and directors from around the world are able to cast their entire project online, from leading stars to day players; and new talents have the opportunity to be listed alongside movie stars and working actors alike.

Non-Linear

Information on post profuction facilities and services provided by Yash Media Ltd / Raj Film Productions

Non-linear means that a film can be assembled in any order from beginning to end, and editing changes can be made at any time and any place in the film.

On the other hand, when you edit using video, an editor must begin the cut at the beginning of the program and lay down shots in a sequential order. Often a project edited in this way must make several versions of the program.

Non-Linear Editing, in the context of computer editing, is to film and video editing what the word processor was to the typewriter.

Non-linear editing combines the best of both film and video into one editor. A NLE allows you to change edits anywhere at any time. A NLE can save hours of work logging and archiving footage.

A NLE can remember and undo your recent edits that you aren’t happy with. A NLE can generate an Edit Decision List (EDL) for film (a “cut list”) or video to be sent to a negative conformer or in the case of video, can be imported into an edit controller.

Most NLE’s use all digital sound. Many NLE’s allow you to do titles generation, dissolves, wipes, video and 3D effects, and other custom effects on-the-fly or in real time. Many NLE’s allow you to convert to and from other computer formats for manipulation by other graphics programs (for morphing, matting, or other manipulation).

Non-linear-editors are an AMAZING tool for an editor, both on film and video. There are literally dozens of non-linear editors on the market and Egypt Productions works with most of them. Some companies and professionals have been in the business for longer than others, however.

Egypt Productions provides non-linear services like AVID’s Media Composer and Film Composer 8000, Data Translation’s Media 100, Light Works, the VideoCube, D-Vision Domino, Smoke, Flint, Flame, Henry, Hal, Touch, Media 844, Media 100, Edit Box.

Movie Editing

Linear

Most of us are familiar with linear editing. The simplest form of linear editing is called assemble editing or deck to deck.

This is when you copy only the “good” parts of a tape over to a new tape. Assemble editing systems often include titlers (character generators) or special effects generators to make the videos more fun to watch. A/B roll editing is when we edit from two or more video sources.

An A/B roll system often includes a digital mixer, to let us cut, fade, dissolve and wipe from source A to source B. Insert editing is when we splice in a different scene, or video only, into the middle of an existing video tape. Only very expensive, high end editing decks are capable of insert editing.

Today, linear editing means deck to deck. The quality of your linear editing is dependent on the editing capabilities of your decks. For the best results, you need special editing decks with flying erase heads, special editing jacks, pre-roll and time codes.

Some of the advantages of using linear editing would be:

1. Simultaneous control of multiple sources :

This includes VTRs, ATRs, Disk-based media, and effects channels. The model for non-linear is hard to stretch to cover more than one or two things happening at once.

2. Real-time, highest-quality multiple channel video switcher and digital effects:

There are 7, 8 or 9 separate video sources rolling during some shots – this requires the resources of a powerful digital switcher, a critical component of a linear edit bay. When you see the fancy effects with moving pictures being wrapped around a solid shape, or being flown around the screen, those are generated in real time on a linear system. If they can be generated at all on a non-linear system, it may take minutes or hours to render a few seconds of effects.

3. The ability to use source footage for editing immediately, without need to digitize, whether from a tape or camera or feed:

There are many applications that have just minutes to finish the show before going to air. Last-minute shots have to be incorporated quickly, and there just isn’t the time to go through the preliminary steps to do the job in a non-linear way. In the non-linear world, all the source material has to be copied onto a dedicated computer. 20 hours of raw footage equals 20 hours of copying (at least).
