Video post-production refers to all the processes applied to a video after the actual shooting has taken place. It takes the video from raw footage which might include multiple-takes of each shot, the accompanying sound and transforms them into a finished continuous video with a soundtrack and, where necessary, visual effects like computer graphics.
Video post production companies will usually have invested in expensive specialist editing and mixing desks and/or very powerful computers.
The different processes involved in video post production comprise:
Editing
This used to involve the physical cutting and reassembling of video tape in order to transition from one shot to the next. Nowadays it’s done with video editing software on powerful computers. He way the shots are arranged and the transitions between them massively effect the overall impact of the video. In movie making the editing phase is known as the second phase of direction.
Visual Effects
Adding computer graphics to a video to provide additional information for the viewer or create special effects. This stage can also include colour correction to match up differently lit shots or change the atmosphere of the film.
Soundtrack
Every video needs a soundtrack (Andy Warhol notwithstanding) which can be sourced from existing material to match the video or involve writing and recording a bespoke soundtrack. Voiceovers also need to be recorded and added to the video. Sound effects can be created manually, from stock libraries or digitally. Dialogue form the original shoot needs to be cleaned up and sound levels normalised. Any dialogue that was lost in the original shoot must be re-recorded.
Formatting
The video must be transferred to the appropriate format for mastering on DVD (including authoring menu screens, subtitles etc) or uploading to a website.
Re-mastering
Some video post production companies can also re-master old film stock for transfer into different formats including cleaning up picture and sound form old recordings to enhance the quality of playback.
