This chapter discusses, in broad strokes, the overall workflows and strategies you can
employ for ingesting, editing, finishing, and mastering various kinds of programs. In the
process, you can see how choosing one ingest strategy over another affects not just how
you work in Final Cut Pro, but also how you’ll eventually finish, color correct, and master
your program.
The Overall Post-Production Workflow Explained
Every project has its own unique requirements. Factors such as the acquisition format
chosen for the shoot, the amount of media that must be managed during editing, the
overall quality of the media, and the delivery requirements for the final product all have
a hand in shaping the details of your workflow.
