The Language of Post Production

The Language of Post Production touches on all aspects of post production, from on set DIT function and data backups, rushes, dailies, aspect ratios, codecs and transcodes, offline and online editing, grading, tracklaying, foleys, ADR and mixing, to international cinema and television deliverables.
