Introduction

Post-production refers to the activities involved in handling assets after they’ve been captured. While this typically focuses on retouching, it can also include tasks such as renaming assets, distribution, and quality control.

When using the full functionality of ProStudio, the right number of images will already be captured, properly named, and correctly associated with the appropriate product and view. This eliminates the need for extensive asset management, allowing you to focus your efforts on retouching and ensuring the visual quality of the assets.

Post-Production

With ProStudio, the focus is on retouching and asset quality. For retouching, many studios rely on external partners, either for full-service support or to handle specific tasks.

How ProStudio supports both variants are described in more detail under:

1. Internal post-production - using your own staff
2. External post-production - using external partners

External partners can range from offshore companies offering cost-effective retouching services to high-tech firms leveraging AI-driven solutions. The main distinction lies in the communication methods: high-tech firms typically use advanced, API-based online platforms, while offshore companies often rely on simpler services such as FTP, WeTransfer, or Dropbox.

For those using companies like Pixelz and Bright River and looking to take advantage of their advanced API services, we’ve developed a specific workflow to integrate these capabilities. For more information on how to set this up, please refer to the article: "Post-production using API Connectors to External Partners" in the section of "Advanced Features".
