FILM EDITING COMBINATIONS - There are five basic methods of film editing. For over 90 years, film editing was done by cutting and splicing the film by hand on a Steinbeck machine. Now of course, in the digital age, we edit on the computer. But you can still splice and edit your film the way they did in the old days (up to the early 90's) if you can find a Steinbeck machine which is almost impossible now.
