Analog video editing is something from before my time. How did it all work? It sounds kind of interesting.
They were consoles that had two Video playback systems and a video recording system for the final result. The ones by Sony that I remember seeing were 3/4" format Pro VCR. You would hook up two or more video monitors, plus they had inserts for video effects devices. SMTE timcode was either a series of LED readouts on the Console itself, or on more expensive systems, overlayed in a box on the series of video monitors.
One thing that you would do, is take the tape that you used as the Final Edit Tape, and record a black backdrop, before using it to maintain a perfect plack background between edits.
Older RTR systems used many differing tape formats ranging from 1/2", 3/4", 1" and even 2" tape reels that were exactly the same as Pro Audio recording tape.
