non-linear editing
Last modified: Wednesday, January 10, 2007 

In digital video editing, non-linear editing is a method that allows you to access any frame in a digital video clip regardless of sequence in the clip. The freedom to access any frame, and use a cut-and-paste method, similar to the ease of cutting and pasting text in a word processor, and allows you to easily include fades, transitions, and other effects that cannot be achieved with linear editing.

Editing video projects with a program like Adobe Premiere is pretty easy, but this wasn't always the case. Video (and audio, for that matter) is considered a linear media because you view it in a linear manner through time. A still picture (which you take in all at once) is a nonlinear medium; so is a Web site, where you can jump randomly from page to page. You edit linear media (such as video) by using one of two basic methods -- linear and (surprise!) nonlinear editing.

Software-Based Editors
Software-based editors use desktop and laptop computers as a base. Video editing is just one of the tasks they can perform; it all depends on the software you load.
