With the introduction of desktop digital video, you can easily move segments within a clip much like you can move paragraphs within a story using a word processor. This allows you to quickly and easily edited the content to include such items as laying down a music track, creating titles or adding special effects without incurring the loss of your video or audio quality.

There are many software packages and tools available to allow you to accomplish this. Adobe, Sonic Foundry and Ulead are the most well-known and widely respected names in video and audio editing.
