Quality
At one time, a primary concern with non-linear editing had been picture and sound quality. Storage limitations at the time required that all material undergo lossy compression techniques to reduce the amount of memory occupied.
Improvements in compression techniques and disk storage capacity have mitigated these concerns, and the migration to High Definition video and audio has virtually removed this concern completely. Most professional NLEs are also able to edit uncompressed video with the appropriate hardware.

Famous quotes containing the word quality:
“Talent alone can not make a writer. There must be a man behind the book; a personality which by birth and quality is pledged to the doctrines there set forth, and which exists to see and state things so, and not otherwise; holding things because they are things.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“There were never in the world two opinions alike, any more than two hairs or two grains. Their most universal quality is diversity.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Writing fiction is ... an endless and always defeated effort to capture some quality of life without killing it.”
—Rose Wilder Lane (1886–1965)
