Does anyone know?

No idea what your talking about...

Can you explain where you heard this term and the context?

It is part of my work and I have never heard heard such a thing. It is something to do with editing.

Maybe if you can tell us where you heard this term and the context we can help.

no idea about this one... sorry!

It sounds like it could be a term that refers to an original treatment that, after studio or production scrutiny, needed to be extended for the purposes of development.

(focus on the term "extended edit" in reference to the version of the treatment as opposed to anything that deals with the editorial process in post) - just a guess...

Since wildstriker posted this in the pre-production forum I was thinking it might be something like David
suggested. But I've worked in development and have never heard the term. So maybe it's something
specific to the UK.

But then wildstriker mentioned it has something to do with editing. In that case the word treatment confused
me because I've never hear that word used during post production. So I'm hoping wildstriker can put the
term in context so we can help.

The edit treatment is mentioned here if that might help you.

This is one of the reasons I hate school.

No offense to you wildstriker.

I?ve never heard that term in all my years as an editor - starting
in 16mm.

But seeing this, it?s clear that what your school curriculum means
is they are going to grade you on your prep. But creating an EDL
before you edit is something that went out with machine to
machine linear editing.

I remember as an assistant having to go through tape after tape
logging timecode and preparing a rough edit on paper. It saved
the editor time back when we had to actually fast forward (or
rewind) the physical tape stock in a machine. That isn?t
necessary anymore if you are using an NLE.

Essentially this is still done on reality shows and large documentaries.
And it?s still done when you are downrezing full HD
footage to cut on an older, less powerful home system.

So it looks like you are going to have to go through your footage
and create an EDL in addition to setting your schedule.

Have fun!

And seriously? You have to keep a diary of your creative
desisions? So everytime you change something you have to stop,
pick up a pen and write down why?

Yikes! I?m glad I learned editing on the job and not in school.

Again, no offense intended to those of you in film school.
