Video editing software

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Video editing software is application software which handles the editing of video sequences on a computer. It usually includes the ability to import and export video, cut and paste sections of a video clip, and add special effects and transitions; and it sometimes includes the ability to encode the video for creation of a DVD, Web video, mobile phone video, or video podcast. Video editing software generally also allows for some limited editing of the audio clips which accompany the video, or at least the ability to sync the audio with the video.

Lightworks, Avid, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Apple's Final Cut Pro are pioneers in video editing software and have a great influence on how films and TV programs are edited. These systems use custom hardware for video processing.

Several other software programs can be classified in this category, including Microsoft's Windows Movie Maker, GEAR Software's GEAR Video, Pinnacle Systems' MediaSuite, muvee's muveeNow and autoProducer, and Serif MoviePlus.

With the availability of commodity video processing hardware, specialist video editing cards, and computers designed specifically for non-linear video editing, many software packages are now available to work with them.
