    Film editing involves assembling shots into a coherent sequence. Early editing machines included the Moviola, one of the first editing machines that allowed cutting out random texts and scenes. Non-linear editing later became possible with video recorders like the Ampex and involved editing digitally without having to work with physical film. Key pioneers in editing and their contributions included the Lumiere Brothers inventing film cameras, George Melies experimenting with special effects and narratives, Edwin Porter developing cross cutting, and D.W. Griffith using more shots and cuts in sequences. Later pioneers like Kuleshov, Eisenstein, and La Nouvelle Vogue further developed techniques like montage and manipulating audiences through shot sequencing and breaking conventions
