(final cut pro became a competitor to adobe premeire which was the standard program for Desktop video editing, final cut express is a cheaper version with less features.)
How non-linear editing benefits the independant film maker
Tape-to-tape linear editing
editing with no "undo", button, once an edit is made it becomes permanent.
Frames (bars in a timeline???)
timelines- uses series of tracks ordered vertically (one over another) to add audio/video to a video.
Non-destructive editing
Editing reels of 16mm and 35mm film has traditionally been a non-linear process, but its a destructive one unlike digital editing. Film makers refer to editing as "cutting a project together", the term "clip" comes from cutting a piece of film to select the segment of footage they want, and splice it into a sequence they want.
(the problem was editors ended up with many small leftover clips "trims" that are hard to manage. )
( The term "cutting room floor" comes from leaving a clip on the cutting room floor and discarding it from the movie, *editors hung clips of film on hooks in large bins incase they needed the extra film*). (91)
