The Construction And Application Of Apple’s High Definition Non-linear Network Editing System

Non-linear editing technology has now been widely applied in the digitalization process of the broadcast and television. This research looks at how important the non-linear editing is in producing TV programs such as entertainment shows, news and advertisement.Final Cut Pro is one of the most known non-linear video editing software in the world. It’s well-received among the users for its versatile functions, which make it stand out from traditional editing software. Final Cut Pro can conduct a multi-format editing on different materials including video and audio files, photos, graphs and words, in a more improved way. The enhanced functions enable the software to work on the editing of more images beyond our imagination. And vice versa, people can know an in-depth digital image world with the help of the software. Currently, some provincial-level TV stations in China begin to use Final Cut Pro. And GDTV World Channel of Guangdong Radio and Television is one of the pioneers in Guangdong Province to apply the software to the editing of TV programs.This research will study the Final Cut Pro software used by GDTV World Channel, and analyzes how the Channel constructs a network of Apple High Definition non-linear editing system, to explore the advantages and specifics of Final Cut Pro. The first chapter of the essay makes brief introduction of the concept, structure and current development of non-linear editing. Then make a comparison between Final Cut Pro and other widely-used video editing software, to study the current and future application trend of Final Cut Pro. This part will work on the good and bad aspects of different software in making TV programs, thus support the argument that Final Cut Pro can be widely used in domestic TV stations. The essay has detailed demand analysis of the construction of Apple HD editing system based on the study of Final Cut Pro’s operation and efficiency. In the process of systematic design, the author has realized the system modularization following the theme of software engineering. An overall system test will be conducted in the end, which accords with the initial purpose of design. The study meets the TV stations’requirements of Apple’s HD non-linear editing procedure, and pinpoints a workable way of TV program’s post-production.
