r/postproduction

Hi everyone,

I was recently made redundant and decided to use the time to build something while learning newer cloud, DevOps and full-stack technologies.

While updating my CV, I remembered a brief IT-support role I had at a TV post house. I started trying to reconstruct, from that limited experience, how the operational side of post-production might work: episode workflows, approvals, bookings, work orders, QC, delivery, rate cards, budgets and invoicing.

The result is an early MVP. It is very much a learning project first, so I’m sure parts of the workflow are not how real facilities would work, and there will still be bugs and bad assumptions.

Nothing is hardcoded the workflow, user roles and permissions in the settings pages are totally customisable.

I’d genuinely appreciate thoughts from people working in post—what feels familiar, what feels wrong, and whether you think this could develop into a viable app for the industry.

It’s open source.

Hello!

I am a freelance re-recording mixer that's getting started in the industry and I have a question. I only have a stereo setup, and so when I want to mix in dolby I'll use the renderer to mix in surround using binaural. I understand binaural is not a true 5.1 mix since it's still only using 2 channels, but simply adding delay and things to create the effect objects are behind you, infront of you, etc. Is it possible to take my binaural mix though and export it somehow into a 5.1 file to give to clients for distribution?

Thank you for all the tips!!
