nonlinear editing systems (NLEs)

Nonlinear editing systems (NLEs) are digital tools used for editing video and audio recordings. Unlike traditional tape-based editing, NLEs allow you to access any part of your footage instantly, enabling flexible and precise adjustments. Producers can easily cut, rearrange, add effects, and fine-tune content without overwriting original files. This approach saves time, offers creative freedom, and simplifies complex editing tasks, making professional-quality videos accessible to a broad range of users. Popular examples include Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro, and Davinci Resolve.
