NLE (Non-linear editing)

Non-linear editing (NLE) is a video and audio editing method that allows creators to access and manipulate clips in any order, rather than sequentially. Unlike traditional linear editing, where footage is edited in a fixed sequence, NLE software enables users to arrange, trim, and enhance video and audio elements freely. This flexibility makes it easier to experiment with different styles and sequences, improving the overall production process. Common NLE software includes Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, and Avid Media Composer, which are widely used in film, television, and online content creation.
