Line 4:
The most basic form of linear editing can be done with two VCRs. Just hook one to the other, press play on the first and record on the second. More decks and equipment can be added to mix audio, synchronize control tracks, and add transitional effects and keys.
Mistakes can kill this type of editing, so having an extensive plan made up from the [[Offline Edit]] is essential. Until sophisticated digital platforms came around, this was really the only game in town for footage shot on tape. Film has always had the advantage of the [[Non Linear Edit]]
Because of the limitations of linear editing, shows that ''were'' made on videotape, such as ''[[I, Claudius]]'' or ''[[Upstairs, Downstairs]]'' tended to be shot one whole scene at a time using multiple cameras, which tends to explain their [[Theater|theatrical]] look.
