What three technologies needed to be invented to change the editing industry from linear editing to non linear editing? Why do you feel that each of these technologies were important?
Note: Please be specific.
Videotapes:
This was the first non linear editing program. Although it was extremely difficult to operate and forced editing to be a more technical process than a creative process, it helped the lead the way to more efficient ways methods of editing. The introduction of videotapes allowed a great reduction of the cutting and gluing process.
Computerized VTR:
The computerized VTR allowed the editor to include in and out points. Previously, cutting a film was a physical job, in which one had to cut the beginning and the end of the shots. this reduced the amount of expensive mistakes.
SMPTE timecode:
This system allowed single frames to be located in a scene. Prior to this invention, editors only had a general idea of where the cut should be placed, yet through this invention, it became a step closer to nonlinear editing, cutting frame by frame.
