"The year was 1994 when Fast Multimedia AG (Munich Germany) announced
the Fast Video Machine. The Fast Video Machine was a hybrid editor,
which is a product category that?s now all but disappeared to the
filmmaking world.
Linear Editing was the standard, two or more video tape recorders
(VTR?s) connected to a device that allowed you to record video
linearly in real time from deck to deck. The new wave, of course, was
Non-Linear Editing, which was the full digitization of your video
assets which allowed you to cut entirely within the computer. For 1994
though, Non-Linear Editing was impossibly out of reach for most
editors, besides the quality of the digitized video was not all that
great, and you needed to go back to tape for the online edit. Hybrid-
Editing was a crazy marriage of linear deck control, and the select
digitization of certain parts of video (such as transitions), which
allowed you to use the actual video tape signal for high quality, and
married it with the digital transitions for flexibility. It actually
worked remarkably well."
