Abstract:
An apparatus is provided for editing video which has at least two components: a digital database system and a nonlinear video editor. The digital database system stores source video segments and has the capability to decimate the source video segments into decimated video segments of a selected decimation quality. The nonlinear video editor is connected to selectively access decimated video segments and source video segments from the digital database system. The nonlinear video editor is capable of using the decimated video segments during editing of a video program and accessing the source video segments to produce the program at a different quality than the selected video.
