Remote Post-Production

In the Post-Production state, the filming has been completed and the editing process (adding visuals and sounds) begins. The post-production process includes the most important steps of completing a film and although very time intensive can be streamlined by enabling remote participation. With a remote post-production workflow filmmakers can work with editors, colorists, and sound engineers from anywhere in the world. Editing software like Adobe Premier, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve or Avid Media Composer can be used with Dolby.io Real-time Streaming (RTS) to allow teams to collaborate in real time to speed up the post-production processes.
