	Film Portal This article is within the scope of WikiProject Films. This project is a central gathering of editors working to build comprehensive and detailed articles for film topics on Wikipedia.

Stub This article has been rated as Stub-Class on the quality scale. ??? This article has not yet received a rating on the priority scale.
Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. Article upgrading needed: You can help! WP:IA   Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development. To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met: Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.) Film infobox ({{infobox film}}) Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.) Plot summary Include cast and crew information. At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.) Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))  Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

[edit] Film editing

This needs to be merged into film editing. Please comment there. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-01-14 07:18Z

Please read the comments at film editing regarding this issue. Consider it dead (this is a disambig page!). --tonsofpcs _(Talk) 05:31, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Not merged into "film editing" as a subset of film editing. Rather the two should be combined under a new master topic like "Editing (film and video)." Personally though I think they need to be separate articles. -Fogelmatrix 15:52, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] EDLs

Could add link to EDLs (edit decision lists). Not sure how to do this. Glennchan 17:12, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

why does it say "What are you looking at? Nothing..." at the bottom of this page?

[edit] Cleanup

I placed a cleanup tag on this article, because I don't think it suitably covers the topic. It briefly discusses the subject's history, but mainly discusses the types of software available to video editors. There is nothing about technique, the art, or the technology (and technological aspects, formats, standards, etc.) involved. If this is to be a separate article from film editing, then we should expand it to encompass the practice as a whole. Also, the article begins with "The term video editing can refer to." It should begin with an overall summary of the topic, and move through the history of the medium. It can have a separate sections about linear editing (which came first in the history of the practice), then non-linear editing. In fact, these could be their own articles, and this page could be an overall summary and history of both forms, with a disambiguation page at the top. -Fogelmatrix 15:51, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

I don't believe that Video editing is intended as a main article. It's more of a disambiguation page. It simply lists the two major forms of video editing and allows readers to use the links to get to either article for more detail. As far as history, linear and non-linear editing share some common history, but to add that to this page would duplicate material included in each of the linked articles.Thomprod (talk) 15:42, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
