Thread Starter | what are the duties of an "online editor" hi everyone, i recently started working at a local tv production studio, and i was wondering if anyone could tell me the role the online editor plays in the production of a tv show. |

| In a nutshell: Taking one step back, the off-line editor creates the show by building the video at usually 15:1 video compression ratio. He then either sends a sequence or EDL to the on-line editor who conforms the show with 1:1 video, cleans up the edits, then adds EFX, GRFX, titles, and color correction. |

| agreed, although the distinction is getting a little blurred between online and offline as many offline type systems can actually do online ...if that makes sense ?!? |

When NLE and hard drives arrived, you feasibly could have a hundred shoot tapes, so you would digitize them at 15:1 to edit, saving drive space, and CPU cycles. Then assemble 1:1 to an online system in the same manner as the paragraph above. Now its acceptable to digitize a smaller project at 2:1, and skip the "offline" process due to lower hard drive costs, and faster CPUs. | |

| Think of the online editor like you'd think of a mastering engineer. Sort of... Kind of... He's the guy that takes the oflline editor's output and makes it look pretty...but he does this in a more "technical" manner as opposed to a "creative" manor. IOW...he's the turd polisher. ![]() Damn...now I've managed to piss off both online and offline editors... Cheers, Tim
