Online and offline editing

What is the difference between online and offline editing?


Online editing: This is the process of editing film online using a digital editing software. An example of a digital editing software would be AVID. This is where you can merge clips, create effect and adjust sound and appearance.

Offline editing: This is the process of editing which is done offline. This would include cutting film up and rearranging it. This editing process would be more suitable for before online editing because it will give you the general idea of how you want your short film to look without spending a vast amount of time on a computer.


In the past, offline editing was the main and only type of editing that a producer would use to create a film. Nowadays we use online editing more because it gives a ton more options to better your film such as effects.
