The Impact of Nonlinear Editing on the Post-Production Process

Michael F. Korpi, Corey P. Carbonara, Vincent E. Young

This paper reports on a study conducted by the New Video Technologies Project at Baylor University, which examines the effects of different editing machines on the editing process and answers the question, When compared to linear editing machines, to what extent do nonlinear editing machines affect the final product? The experimental findings show that the nonlinear editing system projects received higher scores and contained fewer mistakes. Additional observations include: (1) a difference between education and industry expectations in learning editing techniques; (2) students spent more time on the nonlinear system; and (3) these students' approach to editing was more sophisticated using the nonlinear system.
