Basically, the art and creativity of video production lies in editing. You can have interesting action, well exposed and skillfully framed with well handled ambient sound, legible titles, maps and other graphics, and all sorts of fancy equipment; but, a successful presentation lies in how it is put together. That is editing. Editing is merely copying material from one tape to another. You need two VCR’s; the VCR section of the camcorder can be the “player” and the “recorder” can be another camcorder or VCR deck of either the same or another format. That is, your original tape can be 8mm, Hi8 or VHS played back on the camcorder with which it was taken and recorded on an 8mm, Hi8, VHS or S-VHS deck.
