一、引言 非线性编辑(Nonlinear Edit)是随着科学技术的发展而诞生的一种新型编辑方式,它是针对传统的线性编辑(Linear Edit)而命名的。近几年来,非线性编辑已成为节目制作尤其是后期制作最热门的技术之一。从多媒体计算机公司到视频设备制造公司都投入了相当多的人力、物力、财力来开发、生产、销售其产品。那么,非线性编辑究竟何时能像现在普通的视频编辑机一样普及呢? I. Introduction Nonlinear editing (Nonlinear Edit) is a new editing method born with the development of science and technology. It is named after the traditional Linear Edit. In recent years, non-linear editing has become one of the hottest technologies in program production, especially post-production. From multimedia computer companies to video equipment manufacturing companies have invested considerable human, material and financial resources to develop, produce and sell their products. So when exactly non-linear editing can be as common as today’s video editing machine?
