1. The Technology of Editing

2. What Has Got The Best Quality? FilmvsDigital- Film takes much more work- Digital cameras give much better and more- Film used in landscape photography, has more accurate colors than print film.resolution.- Digital cameras give much better results than 35mm print film 3. Film SizeBiggestThe wider the film in mm the better the picturequality (resolution)Smallest The quality of 35mm film is about 20 million pixels 4. Digital Resolution256x256 - Found on very cheap cameras, This is 65,000 total pixels.640x480- This resolution is ideal for e-mailing pictures or posting pictures on a Web site.1216x912- This is a "megapixel" image size -- 1,109,000 total pixels -- good for printing pictures.1600x1200- With almost 2 million total pixels, this is "high resolution.2240x1680- Found on 4 megapixel cameras , this allows even larger printed photos, with good quality for prints up to 16x20 inches.4064x2704- A top-of-the-line digital camera with 11.1 megapixels takes pictures at this resolution. At this setting, you can create 13.5x9 inchprints with no loss of picture quality2.1 megapixel means there should be at least2,100,000 pixels. 5. Aspect RatioThe aspect ratio of an image describesthe proportional relationship between itswidth and its height.The most common aspect ratios usedtoday in movie theaters are 1.85 and2.39. Two common video graphic aspectratios are 4:3 (1.33), the universal videoformat of the 20th century and 16:9(1.77), universal for high-definitiontelevision and European digital television.Other cinema and video aspect ratiosexist, but are used infrequently. 6. Standard Definition vs High DefinitionSTANDARDHD - Either PAL or NTSC- High resolution compared to - Lower quality than HD standard - Aspect ratio either 16:9 or 4:3 - Has a smoother motion and more natural colors - Surround sound, and the ability to allow a variety of input devices to work together 7. Capture Formats 8. FormatsComputersENCODEvideo in lotsof differentformats.These arecommonCONSUMERtypes. 9. The right Digital Formats Important to use the right format to maintainquality. Some editing systems cant accurately editwith certain formats due to problems causedby compression 10. Online Vs Offline Online editing uses the highest possiblequality to edit. The takes large amount of computer powerand storage when working with very largeformats (2K/4K) not a good idea. 11. Offline Editing Import the footage at a lower level of quality Create an EDL (edit decision list) using thesoftware Re-import the footage used in the edit at highquality ready for final export. Can speed up working. Used to be used more. Modern computers can deal with 1080p footageonline. VFX operators still use offline/ online processes. 12. Linear vs Non Linear Film from a camera is linear 13. Non linear Digital Video editing is non linear You can reorder the footage and makechanges at any time without any majorproblem You can go back and change an edit easily You can make fine adjustments You can create digital transitions and effectseasily and quickly 14. Tapes vs Hard Discs Tapes are not commonly used in Digital Videocameras to record information These have almost all been replaced by harddisk drives / memory cards The process of digitizing is faster. The files are less secure!
