Montage wise* editing still lacks color correction, and the motion graphics/effects are really crappy, even by quickie standards.

[@ObnosisJones]

The first practical video tape recorder actually marketed to networks and television stations was released in 1956 by Ampex corporation. This format became the world standard for videotape for nearly 30 years. One of these machines is shown at 4:14 in this video. It used 2" wide tape and employed a headwheel spinning at over 14,000 rpm to record the TV picture in 17 (scan) line segments across the width of the tape from top to bottom (shown at 4:24), therefore making it possible to do cut and splice editing (nearly analogous to film editing) by cutting between the right tracks as described.

[@choco_easty]

[@landryprichard6778]

Great breakdown. Only one thing missing: In the 50s and 60s, they would often time reserve a monitor just for a film camera that would film the video on the screen. That is how we have at least SOME of what was aired live available for the archives now.

[@TheUnfinishedPotato]

Im so amazed on how far we have came, I honestly respect the old school methods alot💯

[@bobcastro9386]

Thank you very much. For those of us who started during the days of chemical motion picture film shooting and editing, we learned to make decisions between our ears and then physically cutting the film. For student films (without a workprint or cutting copy), there was no "undo". Like a sculptor whacking a chunk of marble off a statue, your cuts were always permanent. Later on, electronic video editing was invented and perfected in which playing back video shots and selectively re-recording them onto a master videotape allowed television shows to be built-up without physically cutting film or splicing videotape. The enforced decision-making of those processes helped me to become a better editor; without the crutch of always knowing that "undo" allowed the filmmaker to never make up their mind. In fact, a much younger colleague had to tag team onto a project that I had begun very close to delivery time and the video tape machine was programmed to make an insert edit to change a shot per the client request. He actually told me later that the blinking red button waiting for his button press to execute the destructive edit was frightening for him because "There's no Undo!"

[@ericclements5207]

I got to use Avid while in college and during an internship at Montana PBS, and I loved it. I have to use Velocity ESX at work, and while it gets the job done, it leaves a lot to be desired.

[@betaneptune]

More about the splicing. You can't see the splices on professional films. They made edit lists and perhaps cut the negatives and made positives. Would like to see a little more detail on that. I've made some Super 8 films and the splices, while clear, tend to attract dust and dirt, and sometimes don't go smoothly through the projector. So I'm curious how the pros did it.

[@uberhaxormasterborg]

I've been waiting for this. Thanks, Linus

[@samguapo4573]

I think this video could have added the significance of things such as Apple, modems, internet, all the way to youtube to show how the video industry really exploded. The series of products and factors are what made video editing such a crucial tool nowadays.

[@eshan309]

Great topic, great video! Can you do a video on how graphics (like titles, names etc.) were added back in the old days on the films?

[@TalesOfWar]

+Because I'm Batman! Overlays. Quite literally. Hence the term like cutting used to mean literally cutting the clip. I bet it was fun being an editor back then. Screw it up and bye bye original negative! Back to the soundstage!

[@TopTributeBands-N-Stuff]

Cool quick history of moving pics. Thanks. In 1987 in Santa Barbara CA I produced a network TV series on 1 inch and 3/4 inch videotape which could only be edited a few generations down. VHS 1/2 inch tape can only be edited about 3 generations down before it is all washed out (a copy from the original is one generation, then a copy from that copy is the second generation etc). BUT, in 1987 the studio switched to digital editing and then we could edit an unlimited number of generations and never loose any quality since it was all digital. The copies came out as good as the original. Awesome technology that allowed editors to now do things that were impossible before (massive multiple layered effects etc).

[@IVI00101]

All that progress on the path of "on demand" content, and now we back to live broadcasting.

[@SpacePatrollerLaser]

Actually, there was a way of saving live-broadcast TV shows for later use. If you were alive and aware in the early/mid 1950's and had a TV set and watched it. You would sometimes hear, at the end of a program "This has been a Kinescope recording". This was used to save and rebroadcast live shows in a different timezone. Nowadays, if you want to buy some of the classic TV shows like SPACE PATROL or TOM CORBETT: SPACE CADET that were broadcast live, you can, These shows were Kinescoped and saved and then some smart enterpeneur, like "Cadet" Bruce David (Swapsale) put them on VHS cand sells them. These shows are making their way to digital media as well. We owe all of this to Kinescope This was done by training a film camera on a video monitor that was receiving a feed from the video cameras and recording. KZbin has shows that were live-broadcast as early as 1948, such as HOWDY DOODY and a roller derby game. SPACE PATROL won several industry awards for choreography and in-camera special effects. It helped that they inheritied a huge stage and 3 video cameras. I am a rock keyboardist going back to the days of the Vox and Farfisa "empires" of the late 1960's, and in 2003, the Star of SP, Ed Kemmer, and I had a discussion about the facts of life of the electic/electronic stage

Because of KZbin's weird upscaling and rendering thingy.

Thankfully Linus gives the creator credit for naming his work GIF and pronouncing it properly. Whenever someone says it with a "hard" G, it sounds like they were going to say something longer but then hiccuped halfway through. Choosy moms choose GIF.

Imagine,making KZbin videos using film, the old school. You edit/cut it like back in the very days of movie editing. That must be very challenging!

[@WAQWBrentwood]

Television images WERE recorded be for the advent of video tape. The process was known as "kinescope" about basically it involved aiming a motion picture film camera synchronized to the frame rate of the television image. Of course the end product was "film" not "video" but it did allow later broadcast of the video content. (by aiming a video camera at a motion picture film screen)

[@SoundJudgment]

AHhh, you beat me to it! I was just about to make that same observation and point out that Kinescope films were used to record live-television back in the fifties, till tape took over. Thumbs up!

[@homevideotransfer-vhstodvd9744]

Question for Techquickie. Obviously cutting the videotape would result a sound edit .7 of a second later than the vision cut, which would be unacceptable, so how did we manage to mix the sound over the edit point all those years ago? We didn’t have erase delay back then either, so how did we also make sure there wasn’t a hole in the sound?

[@KellyProds]

Actually the first "non-linear" editing system was known as the Montage. It had system in which drove 14 VHS machines with identical footage on each VHS tape. The software would select the VHS machine that had the timecode nearest to the timecode wanted for the next edit. It was very cumbersome and costly. The Avid came after that. We had one of the first Avid machines in the country in Boston (Avid is located outside of Boston) as at post house I worked at during the late 80s/early 90s.

[@KenPattersonMusic]

Don't forget the EditDroid. Unlike the Montage Lucasfilm and their subsidiary Droid Works used consumer grade Betamax machines. I installed a "loaner" EditDroid at Burbank California post house Rock Solid Productions in the late 1980s. Like other systems attempting to use Betamax, VHS, or tape based systems as random access sources it was a very inelegant and unsatisfactory system. Further these systems were strictly limited to offline editing.

The Avid/1 was not the first in non-linear editing. It was Lucasfilm and their EditDroid in the early 1980s

But Avid was the first *fully-digital* non-linear editing system (which is what he said in the video). EditDroid was still on Laserdiscs.

HArd drives don't store data in binary. The smallest recorded unit is a sector. complex signal processing is then used to approximate bits with error correction code. Bit patterned recording is part of what will actually make hard drives go up to 100TB in capacity eventually.

That NLE computer sounds very interresting,well yeah but the resolution and frame rate had to be cut down into halve ,but even then anno 2016,the original frames can be retrieved trough motion interpolation,the original color range can be retrieved trough color blending while the original resolution can be retrieved trough sharpening & HD scaling,so edited films from 1989 should be remastered that way for release on blue ray.
