=== Non-linear editing ===
[[Non-linear editing]] (NLE) was first introduced in the 1970s with the CMX 600, which allowed editors to modify and edit the pieces of footage to be moved and placed in an alternate timeline and preserving the original footage, the ability to work on any segment in the video in any order.<ref name=":1" /> In 1984, the invention of the Editdroid created by LucasFilm allowed editors a computerized editing system that stored large quantities of high definition footage.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Lucasfilm Originals: The EditDroid • Lucasfilm |url=https://www.lucasfilm.com/news/lucasfilm-originals-the-editdroid/ |access-date=2023-10-27 |website=Lucasfilm |language=en-US}}</ref> [[File:Sony BVE-600 UMatic edit controller (44714270850).jpg|thumb|Video editing controller Sony BVE-600 for the analog [[U-Matic]] system, 1980s ]]There was a transitional analog period using multiple source [[videocassette recorder]]s (VCR) with the [[Montage Picture Processor]]<ref>American Cinemeditor Fall-88 Vol.38 #3 pg.

Content is ingested and recorded natively with the appropriate [[codec]] that the video editing software uses to process captured footage. With [[high-definition video]] becoming more popular and it can be readily edited using the same video editing software along with related [[motion graphics]] programs. In the late 1980s and early 1990s at home NLE software became more apparent on home computers using software such as Avid Media Composer and Adobe Premiere. The [[video clips]] are arranged on a timeline, music tracks, titles, [[digital on-screen graphic]]s are added, [[special effect]]s can be created, and the finished program is "[[rendering (computer graphics)|rendered]]" into a finished video. The video may then be distributed in a variety of ways including [[DVD]], [[Streaming media|web streaming]], [[QuickTime]] Movies, iPod, [[CD-ROM]], or video tape.

By the 2000s, NLE had become accessible to everyone, with advanced of central processing units (CPUs) on personal computers giving the ability to edit at home with higher resolutions.
