Film Editing – is both a storytelling and technical part of postproduction. The terms comes from the
traditional process of using film, but now relies mostly on digital technology.
Linear Editing – refers to editing analog film. Since the first movies were captured using film, the footage
was cut into long strips based on takes and scenes. These were then glued or taped back together to
create a logical sequence. The reel would then be replicated, and then sent to movie houses as a single
long roll of film. Later in time when videos were the norm, it became the process of copying one video
tape to another, in the order required.
Non-linear Editing – is a non-destructive editing (NLE) process, wherein the original material is not
modified during the course of editing. Analogue or digital material is uploaded into a computer, where
the editing process creates new digital material. A NLE can be either a video (NLVE) or audio editing
(NLAE) digital audio workstation (DAW) system that does non-destructive editing on original material.
History of Film Editing
For a brief history of Film Editing, I refer you to James Royce-Dawson’s video. It is 8 minutes and 31
seconds long. He begins with the invention of the first film up to modern times.

If you’re confused as to which of the software above you should use, here’s an article by Michael
Muchmore from PC Mag Asia regarding ten (10) of the top software available for PCs. He briefly
discusses smartphone software as well. This is one of the best articles I’ve read giving a very fair
comparison between the different software. However, he discusses proprietary software only.

In this article by Tom Wells, he discusses twenty-two different free software programs that you can
choose from. My personal recommendations are included below, but this one is a good overview from
many different choices.

For Smartphones, Yani Chen has an article wherein eight (8) apps are discussed. Among these, I suggest
that you look at FilmoraGo. While it doesn’t have Chroma Key capability, it has multiple tutorials that
you can access within the app. Even if you don’t plan to use FilmoraGo, I recommend that you install it
and study the effects tutorials so that you can apply it to another software that you like.

[TIP] Mine
I’m very familiar with Adobe’s Premiere Pro. I used to pay the yearly fee, which is very expensive. There
were years wherein the number of film edits I did weren’t too many, so I felt that I was wasting money.
So I stopped subscribing and instead purchased Movavi. It’s a great editor whose features are good
enough. Of course it can’t compare to Premiere Pro, but for the price – it’s pretty good. It is only

recently that I heard about Da Vinci Resolve, so I’ve downloaded that and am currently studying it. It is
open source and absolutely free.
