Editing software is a somewhat generic term that can be used to refer to a wide variety of products used to edit various types of media. In general, it tends to refer to computer programs that can be used to edit audio, video, photo and graphics files. Most editing software is specific in nature and deals with a particular type of media, although some programs allow editing of similar file types depending on the nature of the job being edited. Editing software is used in a wide variety of artistic and creative professional fields and is typically an important part of film, television, music, commercials and magazine creation.
Most computer programs used as editing software would fall into one of several categories. Video editing programs, for example, are used to edit and piece together various video files to create a longer or more refined final product. This type of software can also often be used to export the resulting video file to a media format such as a compact disc (CD) or digital versatile disc (DVD).
Audio editing software is typically used to record, edit and finalize a piece of music, voice over work or other audio recordings. These types of programs usually allow an editor to work with audio information and manipulate it in a variety of ways. With music, this often involves cleaning up the audio quality of the music and creating a more polished final product, while voiceover editing usually involves adding effects or merging different clips to create a complete sound project.
Editing software may also include more features, such as some video editing programs that also allow for audio editing while composing a final product together. Other types of editing software can be used for graphic editing, for example for photographs or for creating advertising and commercial materials. Photo editing software can be used by professional photographers who want to add effects or touch-ups to images, as well as home photography enthusiasts who want to add some professionalism to their work.
Other types of graphic editing programs aim more towards creating graphic images for artwork or advertisements. These types of programs are usually used to create original content or to add computer elements to something that was created via a traditional medium. This graphic editing work is often seen in print advertising, comic books, and conceptual artwork used for movies and video games.
