Our Authoring Process

1. Initial Requirement Gathering

We start by discussing your project needs, including:

– The type of content you’re releasing.
– The files required (video, audio, subtitles, etc.).
– Your desired timelines.

This step ensures we’re aligned on your goals and have everything we need to get started.

2. File Delivery

You’ll provide the necessary files as determined during the requirement gathering phase. Here’s what we recommend:

– Video Files: 1080p or higher preferred (minimum 720p).
– Audio Tracks: Additional commentary or audio tracks in WAV or MP3 format.
– Subtitles/Closed Captions: Provided in standard formats and matched to the video files.
