The Story Of Videotape & Editing…Part 1 (of 2)

Tomorrow, we’ll see how digital editing works, but today…this is a great history of how television’s need for time shifting, and delayed broadcast for time zones encouraged the development of kinescope and videotape recording.

This is well done and told in layman’s terms so everyone can understand the very interesting paths the process of recording and editing video have traveled. -Bobby Ellerbee

    Enjoyed this very much; shared with some of my editing colleagues.

    Check out all the videos from this guy-Filmmaker IQ. These are a great education in a few hours. I wish there was something like this when I was studying TV and Film in college. I started watching and couldn’t quit.

    The only remaining CMX 600 is in my shop in storage, looking for a museum. It’s very large and heavy!

    At our indie uhf station, we moved from “plunk&chunk” editing on 2″ tape, to frame-accurate, tied-together 1″ machines. Then they brought in a west-coast guy for a special project and our eyes were opened: 4 1″ machines, a b and c playback plus one for recording. Push the tiny “cue” button on the master machine and watch the entire tape room spring into action 🙂

    I’m not an engineer, but I stayed with this video the whole 19 minutes.

    This is a great intro to videotape editing, BTW. I first learned about this history reading “The Video Primer” by Richard Robinson. The book is hopelessly out of date now, but gave me a foundation of understanding television production.

    I kind of grew up and matured along with the evolution of videotape editing to non-linear editing. Inspired by Dickie Goodman’s “Mr. Jaws,” my friend and I would conduct “interviews” with friends, using song snippets from our record collections. This was all done with LPs and live microphones as the sources recording on cassette tape.
