Electronic video editing

Electronic video editing, which involved repeated over-recording from tape to tape was developed as a way of imitating film editing techniques using videotape.

Video editing by recording is now mostly obsolete, except for technical assembly of material, with non-linear editing systems being the normal way of performing creative editing.

Video editing reached its full potential in the 1970s when computer-controlled edit suite controllers were developed, which could orchestrate an edit based on an edit decision list[?] (EDL), using timecode to synchronize the various tape machines and outboard devices.

The widespread availability of videotape editing led to the music video boom of the 1980s.
