Glossary
Last updated 8/12/2010
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 ” on page 306.
snow Random noise on a video screen, often the result of a dirty videotape head or poor TV reception.
source footage Raw, unedited video that has been recorded by a camera.
spatial compression 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 ” on page 300.
splitscreen A special effect that displays two or more scenes simultaneously on different parts of the screen.
square-pixel footage 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 ” on page 301.
still frame A single frame of video repeated so it appears to have no motion.
storyboard 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 ” on page 84.)
straight cut 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.
streaming The process of playing video from the web as it is received, rather than waiting for an entire file to download
prior to playback.
striping 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.
superimposing Combining images, where one or more layers involve transparency. See also “ compositing ” on
page 300.
T
temporal compression A compression method that identifies similar areas across video frames and eliminates the
redundancy. See also “ codec ” on page 300.
timecode 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 ” on page 301 and “ non-drop-frame ” on page 305.
timeline The graphical element in a video-editing program on which video, audio, and graphics clips are arranged.
(See also “ mini-timeline ” on page 304.)
transcoding Translating a file from one file format into another; that is, reencoding the data.
transforming Changing the position of objects (for example, text or graphics) by moving, rotating, aligning, or
distributing them.
transition A change in video from one clip to another. Often these visual changes involve effects in which elements of
one clip are blended with another.
transparency Percentage of opacity of a video clip or element.
trimming Removing frames from the beginning, middle, or end of a clip.
tweening A feature that fills in the frames between two images so movement appears smoother. See also “ keyframes ”
on page 303.
