POST-PRODUCTION

Once the videotaping is completed, the project enters what is called “Post-Production”. This is the editing phase and today this is done on computers with lots of hard drive storage. The selected takes are digitized, trimmed, and arranged on a timeline in editing software. Animations, transitions between shots, graphics, voiceovers, music and all the other required pieces are created, added, timed, paced and manipulated in the computer. If a voice-over (VO) for narration is done, it will typically be in a sound booth or sound studio with the voice timed to the action in the script. It is also in this phase where the finished video can be encoded into a format where it can be viewed on the web and possibly streamed.
