Post-production consists of many different processes grouped under one name. These typically include:

• When content is shot on film it is typically transferred to video, DPX, or OpenEXR with a telecine or a more modern film scanning machine.
• Editing the content of the film or television program.
• Writing, (re)recording, and editing the soundtrack.
• Adding visual effects – mainly computer-generated imagery (CGI) which is then composited into the frame.
• Sound design, sound effects, ADR, foley, and music, culminating in a process known as sound re-recording or mixing with professional audio equipment.
• Stereoscopic 3D conversion in the case of content that was shot in 2D which is scheduled to have a 3D release
• Color grading (and color correction) in a color suite.

The post-production phase of creating a film usually takes longer than the actual shooting of the film and can take several months to complete because it includes the complete editing, color correction, and the addition of music and sound. The process of editing a movie is also seen as the second directing because through post-production it is possible to change the intention of the movie. Furthermore, through the use of color grading tools and the addition of music and sound, the atmosphere of the movie can be heavily influenced. For instance, a blue-tinted movie is associated with a cold atmosphere and the choice of music and sound increases the effect of the shown scenes to the audience.

Post-production was named a "dying industry" by Phil Izzo of the Wall Street Journal in 2011.^[2] The once exclusive service offered by high-end post-production facilities have been eroded away by video editing software solutions that operate on a non-linear editing system (NLE). As such, many parts of a traditional (analogue) post-production pipeline have been largely surpassed by newer digital workflows.
