 WHAT IS POST PRODUCTION ?
Postproduction is the editing of audio and visual materials to create a film. An editor assembles footage shot by shot, adds
music, and incorporates other visual and sound effects. These elements are woven together to create a multisensory
experience we call a movie

 FORMATS IN TRANSCODING A FILE
WHAT IS A COMMON FORMAT OF TRANSCODING A RAW FILE ?
M.F.X (Material exchange format) is the most common format that editors prefer for
transcoding the rushes from source with a resolution of 1080p (Full Hd )
Down grading a 4k file while rendering M.X.F OP-ATOM 1080p reduces the file size to 30 percent
of the actual footages size and proper meta data can be opted from this formats

(FCP 8 or 10 cannot read MXF files so Apple pro res can be given as an alternate format)
