ABSTRACT

Welcome to the wonderful world of media workflows! Many take the process of getting audiovisual media from initial production all the way to distribution to the viewer largely for granted. In many cases, it just seems to happen as if by magic. Things have evolved a great deal from the early days of shooting a production on film, editing using human hands and razor blades, creating physical prints, and shipping those to theaters or later to television networks so that viewers could enjoy the finished product.
