DTE (direct to edit)

This article is about the acronym DTE, for a digital recording & editing workflow method.

DTE (direct to edit) is a digital video direct-to-disk recording method (and also refers to the associated equipment) used to streamline the post-production video editing workflow of raw video files into a non-linear editing system (NLE).^[1] Recent developments have added solid-state memory recording units with removable modules or flash-cards, to avoid potential hard-drive problems.^[2]
