>Jayna Neagle <[log in to unmask]> asks; > >what is linear and non-linear editing? what is off-line, on-line >editing? Davew Trautman gave a very complete explanation for these terms, but I like to think of them this way: Linear editing- composing your tape-based work like you would a paper on a typewriter Non-linear editing- dumpiong all of your tape into a cvomputer and shuffling it around like you would a paper on a word processor. Off-line editing- putting together an outline of your paper from index cards. (at $25/hr) on-line editing-polishing the outline into a finished piece at $250/hr Mike ----------------------------------------- Michael Sime <[log in to unmask]> Video Schmideo! <[log in to unmask]> ----------------------------------------- <http://www.videoschmideo.com> ----------------------------------------- It's not the time it takes to take the takes, it's the time it takes BETWEEN the takes, that takes the time to take the takes. ----------------------------------------- ---- Online resources for film/TV studies may be found at ScreenSite http://www.tcf.ua.edu/screensite
