So where does an NLE such as Avid Media Composer and Ocean Systems dTective Suite fit in?
An NLE provides you a time line with video tracks and audio tracks so you can visually see lots of information about our video. It also allows you to work in a project with multiple video. Each video is represented by to rectangle ( Clip ) where you can visualize things better. A 10 min click is twice as long as a 5 min clip. You can even set your timeline to the time of your events and plug the videos into their corresponding time slots providing you a more complete picture of the events. Want to see more, set the clip to frame mode and zoom in and you get down to seeing every frame if you want. Need to redact something. Stabilize a video. Track a moving object and display its output in a stationary position. Make notes at the frame level and export them. Its all easy to do with dTective and a NLE such as Avid Media Composer.
