This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to use non-linear digital facilities to edit digital content for fast turnaround. It involves identify and preparing source materials, undertaking edits of materials, assembling vision, sound and effects, and finalising edits according to production requirements.

The unit applies to those who have a reasonable level of experience who are involved in editing for screen and daily programs such as television news, web shows, and current affairs. At times they work on more complex programs of a formatted or routine nature, or on the editing of daily rushes for feature films.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
