Before it can be delivered for broadcast or distribution, every television show or feature film must undergo a complex and lengthy process after the scenes have been shot. When this process is not managed properly, the result is a project that is late and therefore over budget and losing money for its backers, because the distributor will not pay until the show is delivered.
This book, written by two experienced associate producers, takes the reader through every step of the post production process, explaining the technology in non-technical terms and detailing what must be done before moving on to the next step. The book includes a number of insider tips, sample forms. and reports that will simplify these tasks, as well as a glossary of terms.
Because of the recent growth of production, there is increased demand for knowledgeable staff in post-production. Often people are promoted to positions in this field with little or no prior experience, yet they are saddled with huge creative, financial and time-sensitive responsibilities. This book was written with both the student and professional in mind, to provide one comprehensive resource on this complex process.
Barbara Clark is Director of International and Domestic Television Services, 20th Century Fox, Los Angeles. She manages the mastering of 20th Century Fox film and TV libraries and is in charge of creating all international versions for television product as well as domestic syndication and cable product. She has worked in television and feature film post for 10 years.
Susan Spohr is Staff Associate Producer with 4Media Company, a full-service post production house. She coordinates post production for several television shows, including Mike Hammer, Mowgli: The Adventures of The Jungle Book, and Born Free. She has been involved in TV postproduction for ten years.

From the Author
Until now, a book laying out the entire postproduction process had not been written since the early '80s. Much has changed since then.
Our goal is to teach people how to successfully post their show and not go insane along the way. Postproduction can be a very long, complicated process. Our book follows the postproduction process step-by-step, in the order the work should be done to be most cost-effective and efficient. We've provided many forms and practical tips, along with enough technical information to allow for informed decisions. The (3) scenarios: film-to-film, film-to-tape, and tape-to-tape are covered for each step. We wrote in non-technical terms and even threw in a bit of humor and our own post-experience anectdotes.
Feedback has been great. Many of our sales have been repeat business from people, postproduction facilities, labs and production companies who keep loaning out their books and not getting them back!
