Non-linear editing (NLE)

Non-linear editing (NLE) is a digital video editing process that allows you to access any part of the video file instantly, making editing flexible and efficient. Unlike traditional editing methods that use physical film or tape, NLE software lets you rearrange clips, add effects, and fine-tune details without altering the original footage. This approach provides creative freedom, enabling editors to experiment and make changes easily, resulting in a polished final product. Popular NLE software includes Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, and DaVinci Resolve.
