Razor blades were used to edit video tape in the early days of video editing for broadcast, especially 2-inch quad and 1-inch tape. The cut had to be made on a diagonal to avoid a roll bar. Some people (now old-timers) were very good at it. Linear editing was made by dubbing from tape to tape which lost a generation. CMX was introduced in 1971, the first non-linear editing system, and razor blade cutting was phased out. - Pip Chodorov
