Finishing and delivery

Finishing is everything between a locked edit and a file you can publish. Color grading sets the look of the picture, the mix balances dialogue, music, and effects, and delivery packages the result into the specific formats each platform demands.

What finishing covers

We mix and color your content, package final files, and share finished deliverables.

What is the difference between color correction and color grading?

Color correction is repair. It balances exposure and white balance so every shot in a scene matches and looks like the thing that was actually in front of the camera.

Color grading is authorship. It takes the corrected footage and pushes it somewhere: warmer, colder, richer, flatter, toward whatever the piece is trying to make you feel. Correction is the floor. Grading is the decision.

What is in the color suite?

Watch your video take on new life with a wash of color. The grade happens on a Dolby Vision mastering monitor, which handles the most demanding workflows, and anyone who wants to watch it happen can do that in the room.

  • DaVinci Resolve Mini Panel, for efficient and accurate grading
  • Dolby Vision mastering monitor
  • In-suite viewing area with an OLED TV, to watch the grade live

What formats do you deliver?

Whatever the destination needs. A broadcast spot, a website hero, a stadium screen, and a vertical social cut all want different things.

The deliverable list gets agreed at the start rather than discovered at the end, because the aspect ratios you are going to need change how the thing gets shot and framed in the first place.

The Ernst & Young Summit finished to a 250-foot seamless 360 screen while the ECU entrance films finish to stadium formats. Same style room, different deliverables.

Can you finish a project someone else edited?

Yes. Color and mix are offered as standalone services. Bring a locked cut and the source media, and it can be graded, mixed, and delivered here.
