An Editing Machine for 16mm Double-System Film
An editing bench has been designed as a unit for editing 16mm film. The editing machine is power-driven and is able to mix sound records to approximate the finished result; it operates at variable speed and passes tape splices reliably. The screen size (9 by 12 in) is designed to provide a normal viewing angle at the working distance of the operator or to a small group of people in the vicinity. The bench is self-contained and is intended for use back to back with a “searching bench,” which provides a circular flow pattern in which the film is first broken down and organized, then sequenced over a light-box and finally assembled in the machine. In designing the editing bench the different requirements for editing 16mm and 35mm film were taken into consideration, including such factors as the frequent use of “voice-over” narration in nontheatrical films.
