Real-Time Video Assembly Involving Transitions and Keys

Thomas R. Shirk

A new method has been developed for speeding the assembly of television programs that contain a substantial number of dissolves. The method, which loses one generation compared with conventional editing, uses A/B/C intermediate rolls, which can be created with a cuts-only editing system. Using this technique, a 30-min, moderately complex documentary with 82 dissolves has been successfully assembled in only 4 hours, which is estimated to be only half the time required to complete the same program using traditional methods.
