Non-linear editing (NLE) is a type of video editing in which the video and audio clips are stored as separate files on a computer. This allows for greater flexibility and control over the editing process, as clips can be easily moved, copied, and rearranged. NLE is the most common type of video editing used today, and is used by professional video editors all over the world.
