Abstract: Many producers and directors prefer to edit film rather than video tape because of their familiarity with the flexibility and precision of film editing. Yet they want the production and technical advantages of video tape. A system has now been developed which utilizes film editing techniques in the production of video-tape commercials. A new editing device, the VTC Film-Tape Translator, has been developed to facilitate the accumulation and transfer of editing data from a kinescope recording, which is used as a film editing master, to an electronically assembled video-tape end product. The Translator employs five interlocked 16mm film transports to translate film scene location data to corresponding video-tape scene location data. A-B rolls are edited and mixed; or Edicomp, a programed electronic editor, is used to transfer the original tape picture and sound to an edited second-generation copy. The system is precise, yet simple in operation, makes film editing techniques available, lowers editing costs, and permits more convenient working hours.
