Q

fine cut

A

final version of an edited film, ready for release

22
Q

HDMI

A

high definition media interface; standard for transmitting uncompressed digital video and audio signals

23
Q

ingesting

A

bringing files into a nonlinear editing system

24
Q

interframe

A

type of video compression in which several frames are read and then averaged to determine what material is not needed

25
Q

intraframe

A

a type of video compression that takes place within each frame

26
Q

key

A

electronically cuts a hole in one image and replaces it with another

27
Q

live mixing

A

concept of mixing down and reproducing or broadcasting (and/or recording) a multichannel audio source during its original creation

28
Q

live switching

A

concept of editing “on the fly” during a television production of any live performance or event

29
Q

log

A

written record of footage, including the order in which each shot appears and its location on the tape or film reel

30
Q

luminance key

A

visual effect that electronically cuts a hole in one image and replaces it with another, selecting the part of an image that falls below a certain brightness level to create a hole

31
Q

mag stock

A

audio tape with sprocket holes that match that of film stock

32
Q

nonlinear editing (NLE)

A

system in which sound and/or image is digitized and edited with random access capabilities and the ability to insert and delete material

33
Q

offline editing

A

first stage of the video editing process, with more emphasis placed on structure and content than image quality

34
Q

online editing

A

final stage of the video editing process, with an emphasis on image and sound quality, effects, and transitions

35
Q

pointer

A

type of file within a nonlinear editing project (such as a clip or bin) that serves as a reference to the location of an actual media file

36
Q

rough cut

A

first edit of a film, generally consisting of synch sound and straight cuts

37
Q

running time

A

elapsed time of a piece of exposed film or recorded tape

38
Q

segue

A

audio transition that involves a rapid level drop of the original source and a quick fade-in of the second source

39
Q

signal flow

A

path taken by a signal

40
Q

split screen

A

partially completed wipe, most often used to divide the screen and show two separate locations simultaneously at full opacity

41
Q

superimposition

A

partially completed dissolve, appearing as a ghosted image of two different sources, both filling the whole screen

42
Q

telecine

A

combination of film projector and video camera

43
Q

timecode

A

electronic signal that provides a discrete numerical reference for each frame of video

44
Q

timeline

A

graphical representation of the “linear” edited sequence being constructed within a nonlinear editing program

45
Q

transcoding

A

converting one type of digital file into another

46
Q

transcription

A

written log of a subject’s spoken words

47
Q

transitions

A

ways of getting from one piece of visual or aural material to another

48
Q

USB

A

universal serial bus; a widely used connection for transferring digital files from one device to another

49
Q

wipe

A

visual transition that starts in one portion of the frame and replaces one image with another in a variety of directions

50
Q

workprint

A

straight print of a camera negative used to complete a rough cut
