Post production is the third phase of the production process, following pre-production and the shoot itself. Its job is to select, assemble, repair, enhance, and package footage into a finished deliverable that meets a specific technical specification.<\/p>\n
Everything in video post production serves that definition. That last clause carries more weight than most briefs acknowledge. A beautifully cut film that fails a broadcaster\u2019s quality control check or arrives in the wrong aspect ratio for a paid social placement has not finished post production. Delivery is a stage, not an afterthought.<\/p>\n
Animated work shares many of these stages, but editorial often begins with storyboards and animatics, long before final frames are rendered. Sound, compositing, colour, and delivery remain essential, while the exact workflow depends on the animation technique.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all” el_id=”row_02″][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInUp” css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n
Careful ingest protects every stage that follows. Rushing it can create avoidable problems later.<\/p>\n
Footage arrives from set either on physical drives or through a managed file transfer service, usually handed off by a digital imaging technician or data wrangler. With it come the shot logs, sound reports, and marked circled takes that tell an editor which material the director preferred.<\/p>\n
Date-based naming using YYYY-MM-DD keeps dates sorting consistently. Use a documented time-zone convention when timestamps matter. Preserve original camera filenames, card structures, reel identifiers, and metadata; organise working folders and bins by project, shoot day, scene, or sequence so material remains traceable.<\/p>\n
Use the 3-2-1 backup rule: three copies of important media, across two media types, with one copy offsite. Active storage might be a RAID array or network-attached storage, with independent backups on another storage system, external drives, LTO tape, or an appropriate cloud service. RAID protects against some drive failures but does not replace a backup. Verify transfers before reusing camera cards and test that backups can be restored.<\/p>\n
High-resolution camera originals, including REDCODE RAW and ARRIRAW, can be demanding to edit, depending on the codec, storage speed, hardware, and project complexity. Proxy media provides lighter working copies that maintain a reliable relationship to the originals. Some systems can edit original media smoothly, so proxies are a workflow choice rather than a universal requirement.<\/p>\n
