Compositing & Editorial Finishing

Whether you are working on a short television commercial or a long-form episodic, it’s impossible to capture everything you need for the final frame in a single take or render. Hundreds of layers and passes can be required for the final image—actors need to be keyed from blue- or green-screen, reflections need to be added, and the subtle interaction between layers needs to be iteratively refined to achieve the desired look.

Accelerate and streamline the delivery of your content from visual effects to editing and finishing while retaining creative control. Choose from the following Autodesk compositing and editorial finishing tools to fit your TV production pipeline.
