Compositing programs allow you to compose CG elements
together, but they also give you additional control over color, timing, and a host of
other additions and alterations you can make to a scene.
Editing
During editing, rendered and composited CG footage is collected and edited to fit the
script and storyboards. This process is usually more straightforward for a CG film than
for a live-action movie, provided that you made good storyboards during preproduction
to follow when assembling the finished film.
With live-action shoots, you shoot much more footage than will ultimately end up in
the film. You do this to make sure you have enough material for all your scenes and to
leave extra room for creative editing. Additionally, you have to run through all the footage
and choose which takes will be in the final product.
Because CG footage is generally much more time-consuming to generate than live
action, scenes and shots should be tightly arranged in preproduction storyboards. The
entire production can be edited beforehand in storyboards, so the scenes that are built and
animated can match the story almost down to the frame. If your preproduction was done
well, it can be just a matter of putting the shots together using an editing program such as
Adobe??™s Premiere or even Apple??™s Final Cut Pro.
