Module 3- Vocabulary

1. Video Editing- the process of editing segments of motion video production footage,
special effects and sound recordings in the post-production process.
2. Linear Editing- is a video editing post-production process of selecting, arranging and modifying
images and sound in a predetermined, ordered sequence.
3. Non-Linear Editing- is a video (NLVE) or audio editing (NLAE) digital audio workstation
(DAW) system that performs non-destructive editing on source material.
4. SMPTE- (The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) is an internationally-
recognized standards developing organization.
5. Vectors- the image is described as a series of mathematical equations. To draw a bitmap
shape you just color in a block of pixels; with vector graphics, you would describe the
shape in terms of height, width, radius, and so on.
6. Transition- can be an instant scene or image change, a fade, fade to black, dissolve, pan
from one person to another, or any digital effect.
7. In-point- the start of a frame where you begin an edit.
8. Out-point-a term used to describe the end point of an edit.
9. MPEG- an international standard for encoding and compressing video images.
