KAPLAN The New York Times NEW YORK The networks are melting down the hundreds of hours of videotape they have into year-end summaries a few minutes of television memory that will run on the nightly news programs today. The task of creating a video time capsule of the year has become, say the producers and editors working on them, increasingly Herculean as the number of video images created in America and around the world grows exponentially.

"You take three pictures or four pictures lasting 15 seconds, and that's what you can give to the tragedy of Bhopal," said David Guil-bault, the ABC producer assigned to create the network's year-end review from boxes containing 3,600 videocassettes. "You have to take the entire campaign and do it in 25 seconds." "In what we're doing there are no captions," said Frank Shanbacker, the NBC producer who reviewed 500 hours of videotape for his fourth annual year-end summary, "and we have far less time for the viewer to look at a given picture than he would in a magazine. These pictures have to be identifiable, and they have to have a connective tissue to tell the story of 1984 by themes." Evoking events with a few seconds of film was not unlike shooting a movie of the year, the two producers said. "You are getting a sense of the mood of the year," Guilbault said. "While 1983 was a very somber year, this year is a mix.

"You start with President Reagan at the State of the Union. We go on to the beginning of the campaign, look at the superpowers, the Marines in Beirut, the embassy bombings." He began ticking off the film images he had been looking at. "The recognition of Vietnam veterans, the Tomb of the Unknown Sol-dier, Duarte, Gandhi, the McDonald's massacre, the conventions, the election, Miss America, John DeLorean, Baby Fae, William Schroeder, the Mexico City fire, the space shuttle, the Olympics, Ethiopia." Guilbault said the tape he was preparing would be six minutes long. The Cable News Network, unlike the major networks, has almost limitless hours in which to review the year. "We have prepared 32 year-end reviews for the next two weeks," said Stacy Jolna, a CNN producer.

"Each one is three to four minutes." The CNN news bureaus reached into the videotape files to which they had access to review subjects that stretched in detail from the Democrats to home entertainment. "We've prepared summaries of the year's events in capital punishment, terrorism, the auto industry, AIDS, the Supreme Court and Hollywood," Jolna said. "Television makes stories instantly memorable." He said television had created striking images of the year: "Bill Shroeder drinking a beer, pictures of war in Lebanon, the shuttle images from outer space space always grabs me in the gut any of the pictures from the campaign trail, Geraldine Ferraro dancing with her kids." But of all of them, Jolna said, "the Ethiopian pictures, that's it. As far as emotion and drama, the pictures of starving Ethiopian children were it for 1984." For a long time, the visual evocations of a year's passage have belonged to photographers in magazines whose freedom and use of color allow them to create a new annual memory of the world's events year after year. But with the improvement of technology, the video image has become not only as pervasive as film photography but has achieved the power to create its own record of the year.

Despite its eloquence and power, television has some built-in limitations: "We are not going to use Mr. Reagan's age comment from the debate," Schanbacker said. "So many events from the campaign are so fresh in people's minds. They've seen them time after time. And we've only got 4'2 minutes." 7:00 7:30 8:00 8:30 9:00 9:30 10:00 10:30 11:00 11:30 12:00 12:30 I Sports- iNFL's I Bluebonnet Bowl: Texas Christian vs.
