Post-production can involve any of the following activities:
  • Tape Editing
  • Non-Linear Editing
  • Sound Editing (i.e. "voice-over" narration)
  • Sound Mixing (i.e. music)
  • Additional Graphics
  • Field segment insertion
  • Bleeping
  • Credits
  • Dubbing for Guests
  • Dubbing for Channels/Broadcast
  • Tape Labeling

Many shows that are shot "live-to-tape" do not require post-production.  However, there are several reasons why a show would not be completed in one three-hour studio session and therefore require post-production:

  • Segments are shot out of sequence to accomodate guests that must leave early.
  • Material is shot so that scenes with the same lighting or set arrangements are grouped together to keep the production moving along at a faster rate, though out of chronological order. 
  • The director desires multiple takes to be shot, with final evaluation to take place in the editing process with another producer.
  • Tapes shot in the studio will be edited by the producer using home computer editing equipment.
