History of video editing

Early film makers and pioneers included the Lumiere brothers who developed some of the first editing techniques in the late 1800’s.

In 1895 the Lumiere brothers invited cinematography. Cinematography was a three in one device that recorded, captured and projected motion picture. 

 Lumiere brothers were French inventors and pioneer manufactures of photographic equipment who devised the early motion-picture camera and projector called the cinmatorgraphe.

Edwin S. Porter- came along and showed the two brothers that film didn’t have to be one long still in 1901. He used footage to tell a different story unrelated to what the footage originally was meant to portray.
