4. Post Production Process Apply after footage is recorded and edited (sequence) Apply effects ( adjust, modify, transform) Transfer it to something you audience can see - whether it's a DVD, the Web, or even a VHS tape. Resource intensive Time consuming Sometimes the hardest part Professional equipment ( High Definition (HD) Video) very expensive £10 000 +
