Early years[edit]
Arthur Schneider grew up in New York, and attended Brighton High School in Brighton, Monroe County, New York[1] and Wentworth Military Academy in Lexington, Missouri.
In 1948, he entered the University of Southern California, where he majored in Cinema.
Career[edit]
His television career began in 1951 at the NBC studios in Hollywood where he spent more than 17 years as a motion picture film and videotape editor.[citation needed]
Schneider received seven Emmy nominations, winning four times. His first win was in 1966 for a Julie Andrews special on NBC. He won his second in 1968 for Laugh-In on NBC. [citation needed] His third was in 1973 for another Julie Andrews show on ABC, and in 1984, he won his fourth for editing an episode of the ABC Afterschool Special series. [citation needed]
He was a life member of the honorary American Cinema Editors Society (A.C.E.) and was nominated for an "Eddie" award for editing another Julie Andrews Special in 1973. [citation needed]
His list of more than 1,100 film and tape screen credits include the Bob Hope Comedy Specials, the Danny Thomas specials, the Laugh-In series, the Sonny and Cher series, the Dean Martin specials, and The New Mickey Mouse Club series for Walt Disney.[citation needed]
He developed the "jump cut", an editing style used on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In in which a sudden cut from one shot to another is made without a fade-out.[citation needed] The term eventually became his nickname and the title of his autobiography. In 1999, Schneider was given the American Cinema Editors Career Achievement Award.[citation needed]
