Digital Workflow: Quick Overview

The digital workflow involves shooting original camera data onto cards or drives. A digital imaging technician (DIT) verifies and transfers the data to storage drives, applies a look-up table (LUT) to create a look, and transfers the data to an editorial drive. Drive 1 travels for data backup and quality control checks. Drive 2 travels to editorial for transfer and clip management. On picture lock, editorial provides the final edit information to the post/DI facility for conforming, grading, and rendering the final output.
