post-processing

Vocabulary Word

Definition

Post-processing refers to the actions or changes applied after the main process has occurred. Just like adding effects to a photo after it's clicked, post-processing is the additional steps taken to enhance or finalize a work.

Examples in Different Contexts

In film production, 'post-processing' is the stage where visual and audio elements are edited, color-corrected, and refined after shooting has finished. A film editor might discuss, 'Post-processing is where the film truly comes together, through editing, sound design, and visual effects to create the final narrative.'
