What is in-camera editing

In-camera editing – Is a video editing technique that happens “inside” the camera.

Instead of waiting until the post-production stage to organise footage, the cinematographer shoots each unit of narrative sequentially, filming shots in a very precise way, so that the ‘edit’ develops as filming progresses. The film would be finished by the end of production.
Planning shots so that they can be filmed in the precise order they will be presented in requires a great deal of fore-thought.

Some of this time is reclaimed, since no additional editing time is needed to cut out or re-order scenes later on. In an in-camera edit, when the very last scene is filmed, the production is finished.

If footage has been recorded digitally, the film can be played straight from the camera.
