Expressed in decibels (dB), the ratio of noise relative to the desired video or audio signal. The higher the value, the
clearer the picture and sound.
An editing feature that adjusts the Out point of the previous clip and the In point of the next clip without affecting the center clip or
program duration. Compare to slip edit.
An editing feature that adjusts the In and Out points of a clip without affecting the adjacent clips or program duration. Compare to slide
edit.
See signal-to-noise ratio (S/N).
Random noise on a video screen, often the result of a dirty videotape head or poor TV reception.
Raw, unedited video that has been recorded by a camera.
A compression method that reduces the data contained within a single video frame by identifying areas of similar color and
eliminating the redundancy. See also codec.
A special effect that displays two or more scenes simultaneously on different parts of the screen.
Footage that has a 1:1 pixel aspect ratio, typically analog video. Most computer graphics have a 1:1 pixel aspect ratio. See
also D1.
A single frame of video repeated so it appears to have no motion.
A series of images representing each clip in a movie. You rearrange the images to change the order in which clips appear. In Adobe
Premiere Elements, storyboard-style editing occurs in the Sceneline. (See Sceneline overview.)
The most common edit; consecutive clips placed one after another in the Timeline window. Straight cuts are preferable to transitions
when the scenes are similar and you don’t want edits to be noticeable.
The process of playing video from the web as it is received, rather than waiting for an entire file to download prior to playback.
Preparing a tape for editing by recording a video signal (for example, black) with a control track and timecode to ensure proper playback.
Also known as black stripe.
Combining images, where one or more layers involve transparency. See also compositing.
Super-Video. A technology used to transmit video by dividing the video information into two separate signals: one for luminance
(brightness) and one for chrominance (color).
A compression method that identifies similar areas across video frames and eliminates the redundancy. See also codec.
A time format that measures video in hours, minutes, seconds, and frames (for example, 1:20:24:09), enabling precise editing. See also
drop-frame and non-drop-frame.
The graphical element in a video-editing program on which video, audio, and graphics clips are arranged. (See also mini-timeline.)
Translating a file from one file format into another; that is, reencoding the data.
Changing the position of objects (for example, text or graphics) by moving, rotating, aligning, or distributing them.
