Talk:Post-production

message: Would be helpful to describe the software tools that are used in digital post-production -- for film, TV, and more amateur efforts.

Surely this page should be broadened to cover all forms of post production. It is used in audio, video and television as well as in films. For the moment I have added a navigational template attaching it to Sound recording and reproduction, though I would suggest that ultimately there should be separate pages covering each of the fields. --Lindosland 16:17, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

replies: text:  My feeling here is that the Kemps link Kemps - A comprehensive list of international post production resources and suppliers points to content that helps to define the range of services that constitute the international post production industry and does add value to this entry. Hence I am proposing to reinstate it. Film Man 11:33, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  You have already added links to http://www.kftv.com/group-KG08.html to the articles Reed Business Information, Kemps Film and TV Production Services Handbook, Location scouting, Stock footage and of course Post-production.  I am going to remove it from Post-production as I do not believe that the link does help define the range of services offered by Post-production companies as Sound & MultiMedia are also represented in the list.  A better way to define the range of services would be to edit the article to include the information in the articles text.  I am removing the External Link unless another editer agrees with you position and reinstates it.  Thanks - Parasite 00:43, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Parasite: Thanks for the feedback. For the record, Post Production does include sound and multi-media (both are already referred to in the article - broadly it's everything that takes place after the shoot or recording; although even that distinction is blurring with the advent of CGI) - it was the granular detail of the services that were referred to in the link that I thought would help to flesh out the understanding of the sector. I take your point about adding the additional content to the article itself, and I'll leave it to other editors to re-instate the link if it's felt appropriate. Thanks again for your feedback.

thread_title:  Use the prefixes properly 

message: Although is pretty common to see prefixes pseudojoined with hyphens, in most cases the hyphen is not needed and so incorrect.

thread_title:  Publishing and marketing? 

message: Can we get some consensus on the spellings of this word? And if it's really both spellings, let's include that in the first line. Some dictionaries list it as "postproduction", others as "post-production", and quite a number of them don't mention the other spelling at all. Very strange. I did a survey of the online dictionaries, and here were the results: 
* American Heritage Dictionary: postproduction. No alternate spelling seen. post-production was not found.
* Cambridge/dictionary.cambridge.org: Neither spelling found.
* Chambers: post-production. Auto-corrects postproduction to post-production.
* Collins: postproduction. See Dictionary.com.
* Dictionary.com (both Random House and Collins): postproduction. Auto-corrects post-production to postproduction.
* dictionary.reference.com: postproduction. See Dictionary.com.
* Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English: Neither spelling found.
* Macmillan: post-production. Auto-corrects postproduction to post-production.
* Mirriam-Webster: postproduction. Auto-corrects post-production to postproduction.
* Oxford: post-production. Auto-corrects postproduction to post-production. (oed.com & oxforddictionaries.com)
* Random House: postproduction. See Dictionary.com.
* wiktionary.org (en.wiktionary.org): BOTH. It has a post-production entry, but for "postproduction" it says, "postproduction ‎(usually uncountable, plural postproductions) ¶ Alternative spelling of post-production"
Other online dictionaries:
* dictionary.babylon.com: Mixed results. Only the Wikipedia article entry came up for postproduction. That article and a definition came up for post-production ("Post-production Definition from Entertainment & Music Dictionaries & Glossaries ¶ film and video ¶ Movies & TV Dictionaries").
* hyperdictionary.com: post-production. Nothing found searching for postproduction.
* thefreedictionary.com: postproduction. Auto-corrects post-production to postproduction.
* webopedia.com: post-production. Auto-corrects postproduction to post-production.
* webster-dictionary.org: Neither spelling found.

replies: text: Looks like an equal split between "postproduction" and "post-production". Same story with Google hits. I support your recent edits and think we're good now. ~Kvng (talk) 13:33, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
