No matter what your project, Final Cut Studio is the cornerstone of your post-production

workflow. This section covers the post-production workflow in general terms. For more

The Industry Workflow

Before you start editing, it’s helpful to consider how post-production fits into the overall

moviemaking workflow. Even though no two movie projects follow exactly the same

steps, there is a common workflow that almost every project adheres to. From conception

to completion, the basic steps to complete a film or video project are described below.

Stage 1: Scripting

Scripting is where the movie is conceived and written.

Stage 2: Preproduction

This is where budgeting, casting, location scouting, equipment and format selection, and

storyboarding take place.

Stage 3: Production

Production is where you create your footage, capturing performances using video or film

cameras, as well as audio recorders. Lighting, cinematography, acting, and directing all

come together to create the elements used to tell your story or deliver your message.

For practical reasons, scenes are usually shot out of order, which means they have to be

properly arranged during editing.
