Video Post-Production

What is Post-Production?

When working with digital media, sometimes the hardest part comes after you shoot your film or make a recording. You still have to capture it, edit it, and transfer it to something you audience can see - whether it's a DVD, the Web, or even a VHS tape. That's where we can help. Whether it's giving you suggestions on how to set up your own post-production environment or providing hands-on training in our Video Studio, we can help simplify the process so you can do the most, in the least amount of time.

Capturing and Editing

So you've shot your video - what comes next? The first step in post-production is capturing and editing your video. Doing so requires very specific software, but there many options - everything from "pro" software (costing several hundred dollars) to "entry-level" software, which is often free. What software to buy comes down to a variety of factors - what operating system you use, how much editing you are going to do, how you're going to store your video long term. These are the question we can help you determine, so you only learn (and buy) the software you need.

Delivery

Once you capture and edit you material, then you have to get it into the hands of your audience. Is it going on the web? Are you showing it off during a lecture? Is is something you want to put in the library for them to check-out? Here are the ways that most of your clients deliver their products:

Learning What it Takes

Learning everything that makes up "post-production" can be a lot to do. To help make the learning curve as small as possible, we offer a variety of training. The most common way to learn is to make an appointment to get some hands on training in our Video Studio. We also offer sessions throughout the year to faculty and staff, such as the Ntitle program and NExTT. Occassionally, we'll even bring in training staff from particular companies, so you can learn directly from the people who make and sell the product.
