ABSTRACT

Video editing today is a much different process from what it was even seven to

ten years ago. One area of video editing that has changed considerably is the

options for outputting our programs. Even during the early to mid-1990s, when

video editing was migrating from rooms full of video tape decks and other

extremely expensive equipment to somewhat less costly desktop computers, the

goal for output of the program was almost always the same videotape or film

stock on which programs had been distributed for years.
