The crew entry for editing only has one, extremely inaccurate, entry: Film Editor

Ever since electronic non-linear editing has come into play, in both movies and more specifically, television shows, Film Editor has been replaced with either Editor or Edited by.

The Crew Film Editor category needs to be renamed to Editor and contain three choices: Film Editor, Editor, Edited by

As it stands right now, many (and I mean many) editors are being put into the database incorrectly.

If these category names really bother you, you can, in your local DB, create a translation file.

This will allow you to see what ever you want it to say. 

If you want it to say "Linear Editor", you can alter, for yourself, to make it say that.

As a matter of fact, you can alter just about anything within the program.

As for me, I don't see the big deal about it.  It is a category and a title that people understand.

Change it locally if you choose.

Edited By is already in the contribution rules as acceptable for Film Editor.

Personally I have no problems with the function being referred to as "Film Editor" but if it were to get changed I'd suggest "Picture Editor." Many editors refer to themselves as exactly that.

I have never seen such a cfredit ande since it is Credits we deal withg perhaps you can point to su8ch a credit, it is not relevant what somebody calls himself...what is the CREDIT?

You do realize that some people here watch and collect mostly movie from the last century and for them the term is certainly not inaccurate and doesn't need to be spelled differently.

Can't contribute local modifications.  The point is to correct wrong credits in the database.

We had this discussion when the feature was added.

I wasn't using DVDP then.  Doesn't mean that the issue can't be revisited and fixed.

I'm not sure if you misunderstood my posting.  It is a two-parter.  The first part is to fix the category title.  It isn't just "Film Editor" anymore.  See above response for the category name change.

The second part is that two MORE roles entries are needed.  I never said to take away the "Film Editor" role, but to add two more: "Edited by" and "Editor"
