Many people never consider how long it takes filmmakers to film a movie and how long it takes editors to put it all together in post-production. But you’d never see a flick in the theater without the editing, audio production, and color correction that happens after principal photography.
Post-production takes all the many and varied elements created during film production and transfers image and sound files into computer files to work within an editing workspace. During this process, it’s your job as an editor to synchronize files with your video, visual effects, live effects, and everything else available from the production itself to create the entire film.
