Which editing method involves arranging digital media into a sequence?

• A. Linear Editing
• B. Clip Editing
• C. Non-Linear Editing
• D. Frame-by-Frame Editing

Answer: (C)

Non-linear editing uses a digital timeline that lets you place clips in any order, rearrange them easily, and edit non-destructively. You can jump to any point, preview changes, and assemble a sequence by dragging clips into the timeline, trimming, and layering as needed. This flexibility—random access to media and non-destructive workflow—defines it as the method for arranging digital media into a sequence. Linear editing, by contrast, works with physical media in a fixed, forward-only pass, making reordering difficult. Frame-by-frame editing focuses on precise adjustments to individual frames rather than organizing the overall sequence, and clip editing isn't the standard term for sequencing. Thus, the described method is non-linear editing.
