Video-Assisted Film Editing System

The past few years have seen enormous progress in videotape editing. Computerized editing systems largely have eliminated the manual tasks and have made frame-accurate edits fast and easy. Film editing, on the other hand, has continued to be a manual process, involving a great deal of physical handling of the medium. There are substantial benefits to the producers of motion pictures if they take advantage of electronic editing techniques. Essentially, this means that while the original production medium and the final product are film, the editing medium itself should be videotape. Such a technique reduces the cutting and splicing of film that is necessary, limiting these operations to the final conforming assembly.
