BA in Professional Video Production

What is Edit Controller?

What’s editing? It’s not just trashing the bad parts but arranging the good pieces to look better! And this is done by a device called edit controller which edits raw video into a polished, professional-looking end product. It connects to and controls the source and record machines.

The controller allows you to choose video from one source, usually a camcorder, and transfer it in an edited form into another camcorder or VCR (the target). Most of the controllers work with a variety of tape formats; S-VHS, VHS, Video8, and even Beta machines, as long as the VCR has some sort of external control capability. Some even use the infrared remote control codes of your VCR to run the show.

Some smaller edit controllers only feature one set of controls, plus a switch to select either the source or record machine. This way you can still control both machines but only one at a time.

Edit controllers usually allow you to program your edits more precisely, preview the edit before recording it, and perform other useful tasks. In some cases an on-screen menu is generated to help you program multiple edits.

An edit controller is a useful tool in saving time for both the amateur and professional videomaker. Even if you aren’t on a tight schedule, you will appreciate how controllers take the grunt work out of editing.

Some edit controllers are Palette Gear, Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve Mini Panel, Contour Design ShuttlePRO v2 – NLE Multimedia Controller, etc.
