Video EditingOverview Not long ago, video editing was possible only with the help of expensive equipment and a substantial amount of training. Now almost anyone can shoot, edit, and copy his or her own videos. All that is required is a video camera, some cables, inexpensive hardware and software, and a PC. Regardless of whether you use an analog or a digital video camera, you must capture the video data in order to store, edit, and view it on your PC. The process of capturing video may require special hardware to be installed on your system, such as a video capture card or a FireWire card. Capturing digital video requires specialized software that can often double as video editing software.
