- Traditional TV editing is done on an editing machine. The editing machine usually consists of a video player and a video recorder. The editor uses a video player to select a suitable piece of material, then records it on a tape in the video recorder, and then looks for the next shot. In addition, the advanced editing machine also has strong special effects functions, which can make various overlay strokes. You can adjust the screen color and make subtitles. However, because the tape recording pictures are sequential, you cannot insert a shot between existing pictures, and you cannot delete a shot unless you re-record all subsequent pictures. So this kind of editing is called linear editing, it brings a lot of restrictions to the editors. Although the traditional editing methods have their own characteristics, they have great limitations, which greatly reduces the creativity of the editors and makes Valuable time is wasted during tedious operations.
- Computer-based digital non-linear editing technology has made great progress in editing methods. This technique records material to a computer and uses the computer for editing. It uses a non-linear mode of movie editing, but uses simple mouse and keyboard operations instead of scissors and paste-type manual operations. The editing results can be immediately played back, so the efficiency is greatly improved. At the same time, it can not only provide all the special effects functions of various editing machines, but also provide complex special effects that the editing machine cannot do through software and hardware expansion. Digital non-linear editing not only combines the advantages of traditional film and television editing, but also further develops it, which is a major advancement in film and television editing technology. Since the 1980s, digital non-linear editing has gradually replaced the traditional method in film production abroad and has become a standard method for film editing.

For more than ten years, digital technology has fully entered the film and television production process.

But until recently, film and television production used extremely expensive professional hardware and software. It was difficult for non-professionals to see these devices, let alone to use these tools to make their own works. With the significant improvement of PC performance and the continuous decline in prices, film and television production has gradually shifted from the previous professional hardware equipment to the PC platform. The original high-profile professional software has gradually been ported to the platform, and the price has become increasingly popular. At the same time, the application of film and television production has also expanded from professional film and television production to computer games, multimedia, network, home entertainment and other broader fields. Many operators in these industries and a large number of film and television enthusiasts can use their computers to make their own film and television programs.
