Getting a video production into post-production and avoiding common pitfalls is a dreaded territory for many filmmakers. As acquisition equipment and formats evolved, over the past 10 years, the world for post-production has changed dramatically.
What was once reserved for the highest echelon of film and TV professionals, and consisted of to a handful of standardized codecs, formats and camera options, has become extremely accessible in both financial terms, and also technical knowledge.
I remember a few years ago, when I shot my debut no-budget feature film, I quickly realised I was on a rather treacherous path from acquisition to delivery, navigating a world of exports, EDLs, XMLs, intermediate codecs, sound design and much more that was mostly unfamiliar to me at that point. It was an invaluable learning experience nonetheless.

The problem is that the world of modern post-production is way too vast to be encompassed into a single place, but Frame.io nonetheless have put in the hard work and compiled over 100,000 words of real-world post-production knowledge from leading post-workflow professionals.
And the best part is that it is all free – all you have to do is to dive in and learn.
