Editing Linear video editing (section)

== Current usage ==
While computer-based non-linear [[video editing software]] has been adopted throughout most of the [[television commercial|commercial]], [[film]], industrial, and consumer video industries, linear video tape editing is still commonplace in [[television station]] [[newsroom]]s for the production of [[television news]] and medium-sized production facilities that haven't made the capital investment in newer technologies. News departments often still use linear editing because they can start editing tape and feeds from the field as soon as they are received since no additional time is spent capturing material as is necessary in non-linear editing systems, and systems that are able to digitally record and edit simultaneously have only recently become affordable for small operations.
