Editing Real-time video editing

{{Short description|none}}
'''Real-time video editing''' is a system of editing [[video]] where it takes no longer to render a video than the length of that video clip itself. Live video editing is where there are various cameras at various angles and position, capturing single or multiple subjects and the footage is routed through a vision mixing device and edited and transmitted in real-time.

Broadcasters traditionally used large, disparate computer systems for real-time video editing with multiple CPUs, multiple gigabytes of RAM and high-powered hard drives. Some had additional hardware components designed to enhance the performance of the specific [[video editing software]] being used. Other approaches used to ensure real-time playback included continuous background rendering, and using multiple networked computers to share the rendering load. These systems would allow broadcasters to edit and render a video clip in 30 minutes.

These systems are now outdated thanks to the instantaneous nature of social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. Broadcasters and content rights holders now use [[cloud-based video]] editing technology which allows them to clip, edit and share video across multiple digital platforms such as websites and social apps within seconds rather than minutes.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Davis|first1=Ben|title=The emergence of real-time video on social media|url=https://econsultancy.com/blog/64820-the-emergence-of-real-time-video-on-social-media/|website=Econsultancy|date=12 May 2014|publisher=Econsultancy|accessdate=23 May 2015|archive-date=21 September 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150921064419/https://econsultancy.com/blog/64820-the-emergence-of-real-time-video-on-social-media/|url-status=live}}</ref>
