A non-linear video editing system includes a graphical user interface to facilitate editing of video clips in a composition. The system includes the ability to display and edit a video frame on a field-by-field basis. Each field can be edited separately from the other field of the same frame. Additionally, inter-field jitter, present when fields are displayed individually, is removed by determining which field includes the top-most line of the frame and adjusting accordingly. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention will be more completely understood through the following detailed description which should be read in conjunction with the attached drawings in which similar reference numbers indicate similar structures.
All references cited herein are hereby expressly incorporated by reference.
An example of a computer system that may be used to practice the present invention is depicted in FIG.
2.
The computer system 200 includes a processor 202, one or more storage devices 204, such as a disk drive, and a monitor 206.
Computer system 200 typically includes a memory 208 for storing programs and data during operation of the computer system.
The computer system may also contain one or more communication devices 210 that connect to a communication network 212.
The invention may be embodied in editing software that could be stored on the disk drive, on a floppy disk or on a CD-ROM, for example.
An example of such a system is the Media Composer.

A non-linear editing system generally provides access to media data at a resolution defined by frame boundaries.
This resolution is based on SMPTE time codes that are expressed in hours, minutes, seconds and frames.
In order to provide access to field data, each field in a media data file is indexed.
A standard procedure for accessing media data files may be modified to randomly access the image data at the resolution of a field.
Other procedures that access data files and data structures defining effects also may be modified to define the effects or request data at the resolution of a field to permit paint effects to be defined on a field-by-field basis.
In operation, an editor desires to assemble a video composition consisting of one or more video clips.
The desired clips are selected and placed in the desired order.
The graphical user interface allows the editor to visually determine, among other information, the location of a clip and the total run time.
To place a special effect on a field of a frame, the field is marked as a "keyframe
