The Offset Podcast EP021: 'Old' Postproduction Knowledge

No, we're not returning to the days of 1", U-Matic, or even D1 & Digibeta (although those were pretty awesome days!).

In this installment of The Offset Podcast, we're revisiting some postproduction knowledge that many of us take for granted but that is surprisingly new or at least unclear to many people.

In this episode, we'll discuss:

• Preserving institutional knowledge of post - old vocab and techniques are still relevant
• Understanding fractional frame rates
• Drop vs non-drop timecode
• Understanding interlacing
• Interlacing to progressive, progressive to interlaced
• Transparency & alpha channels
• Composite modes and transparency in color-managed pipelines
• Recap on 3 and 4-point editing
• Inclusive & exclusive playheads
• Being obsessive about file names
• Using Leader in file outputs - slates, bars/tone etc
