7000 DIGITAL PROCESSES
- 7010 File Conversion/Transcoding
- Time needed to convert the files from the original file format to the format being used in the non-linear editing system.
- 7020 Backup Storage Devices
- Costs for the devices (hard drive, disk, data tape, etc.) used to make protection copies of the original or transcoded files.
- 7030 Pre Edit Color Correction
- Certain format files (Cineon, .r3d) need to be color corrected prior to editing. This is for the costs involved if the editor rather than the production company or lab handles this during the dailies process.
- 7040 File Ingesting
- The time needed to transfer the files from the supplied devices to the editor's system or server.
- 7050 LUT creation
- Certain cameras record data in 4:4:4 RGB with logarithmic color space. They need a conversion file or Look up Table (LUT) to be read correctly on edit systems. An LUT can either be supplied by the production company or director of photography or be created by the post house.
- 7060 Prep for Final Color Grading
- For certain file-based formats, the time needed to create digital files of the approved cut for the final color correct session.
- 7070 Archiving
- Time needed to prepare all of the project's data for long term storage.
- 7080 Archive Storage Devices
- Costs for the devices (hard drive, disk, data tape, etc.) used for long term storage.
