Finish like a professional
Anyone whose material, shot or generated, has to survive delivery to a client or a platform.
8 steps, in order
-
Media, sync and turnovers
Post is organisation before it is taste, and generated material multiplies the file count.
-
The cut
Selection and structure are where the value is added.
-
Grade and display
Understanding scene-referred versus display-referred work is what stops a delivery looking wrong.
-
Building the track
Sound carries more of the feeling than most people believe.
-
The mix and the spec
Loudness, stems and intelligibility are deliverable requirements, not preferences.
-
Finishing generated frames
Where super-resolution and interpolation belong in a chain, and what they cost you.
-
Keeping a revision trail
You cannot revise what you cannot reproduce.
-
What your pipeline can promise
Version pinning and confidentiality are delivery questions.
