FAQs
Post-Production FAQs
Answers about timelines, deliverables, and how we handle your post-production needs.
What's included in post-production services?
The entire process of content distribution starts with data intake and continues through Avid and Premiere offline editing and DaVinci color grading with HDR and ACES workflows and Nuke compositing for VFX shots and Pro Tools sound editorial and Dolby-certified mixing. The team runs conformation tests between camera originals and camera footage while performing automated quality control checks to generate delivery materials for NHK and streaming services and all distribution channels across the world. Japanese and English versioning available throughout.
How long does post-production typically take?
The Japanese commercial production process requires three weeks to complete from picture lock until the final master is ready. The production time for TV episodes spans between four weeks and six weeks depending on the amount of visual effects needed. The process of documentary production needs eight to twelve weeks to complete sound design work and achieve perfect color quality. The production duration for different features ranges between 10 weeks for dialogue-based dramas and 16-20 weeks for projects which require visual effects. We've done rush deliveries for broadcast deadlines, but realistic schedules produce better work.
Do you handle deliverables for Japanese broadcasters?
That's our specialty. We deliver to NHK, TV Asahi, Fuji TV, and TBS specifications regularly—each has particular loudness requirements, captioning standards, and tape-vs-file preferences. For international projects, we handle Netflix Partner Program specs, Amazon IMF, Apple ProRes deliverables, and cinema DCPs with KDM management. Full QC reports and revision rounds included.
Can you match existing looks from a series or brand?
The colorists at our studio achieve exact visual style matches through their combination of CDLs and LUTs with reference still images. The system keeps track of grade information which spans throughout all episodes and seasons of the series. The brand work team operates under client-approved style guides which include scheduled approval processes throughout the project timeline. If you're picking up a show that graded elsewhere, send us the previous LUTs and references and we'll match the look within a calibrated Tokyo suite.
What camera formats can you work with?
Everything shooting in Japan right now: ARRIRAW and ProRes from Alexa 35 and Mini LF, REDCODE from V-RAPTOR and Komodo, Sony Venice X-OCN, Blackmagic RAW, Canon Cinema RAW. Our team specializes in processing archival content from Japanese institutions which includes HDCAM SR and DigiBeta formats as well as 2K DPX scans obtained from film sources. The system operates as a complete HDR pipeline which supports both Dolby Vision and HDR10 mastering processes.
