File-based workflow and QC

File-based workflow is a process of creating and editing video content using digital files instead of physical tapes or film. File-based post production offers many advantages, such as faster workflows, easier collaboration, higher quality, and more creative possibilities

Workflow process, in general, can be like

  • Start receiving the raw footages
  • Store and Organization those inputs
  • Rough cut like a first draft
  • Visual Effects in parallel with editing
  • Color Grading or Color Correction
  • Audio Mixing
  • Final Approval
  • Package and Distribution

File-based post-production has become the standard in the industry due to its efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and the ability to take advantage of digital technologies. It has largely replaced traditional tape-based and film-based workflows in modern media production.

Quality Control (QC) is an essential step in the post-production workflow before content is distributed. The QC process ensures that the final product meets the required technical specifications, adheres to industry standards, and is free of errors or issues that could affect the viewer’s experience. The QC phase typically involves a thorough review of both video and audio elements. The goal is to catch and rectify any issues before the content is distributed to ensure a high-quality viewing experience for the audience.
