- Once everything is looking how you'd like it,…it's time to get final approval from the client.…As we mentioned before, however,…chances are the client or agency…has been involved throughout the editing process,…as commercial editing is an extremely collaborative art.…In this course, we've been focusing primarily on the art…of constructing the commercial, but just remember…editors don't do this in a vacuum.…Realize that all of the ideas and approaches…would've likely been reached…through a highly collaborative process with…many screenings, re-cuts, re-screenings and so on.…
And you know what?…Most editors would say that, in general,…it's immensely beneficial…to have multiple points of feedback…built into the schedule…throughout the post-production process.…That way, when you finally do reach picture log…you can be confident that the cut…is generally in good shape.…But what I'd like to do is talk a little bit…about getting a high quality version of your project…out of Final Cut and into the hands of your client…
