Having a great footage is only the first step in creating a great film. When it comes to movie and video editing, choosing the right software might be a crucial decision that will determine the quality of your end product. Video editing software is an application software which handles the post-production video editing of digital video sequences on a computer, non-linear editing system (NLE). Once a project is complete, the NLE system can then be used to export to movie in a variety of formats in context which may range from broadcast tape formats to compressed formats for the Internet, DVD and mobile devices. In non-linear editing, the original source files are not lost or modified during editing. This is one of the biggest advantages of non-linear editing compared to linear editing.
