Post Production Services

Video editing, color grading, sound design, motion graphics, visual effects, mastering and versioning for films, campaigns, documentaries, television and digital content.

A finished film is not simply raw footage after it has been cleaned up.

It is the point where story, rhythm, image and sound finally agree.

Global Untold Story provides international post production services for brands, agencies, broadcasters, platforms, production companies and creators.

We can join from the first day of filming, begin with an existing library of footage, refine a rough cut or take over during the final stages of finishing and delivery.

Some projects need one editor.

Others require a complete post production team managing hundreds of assets, several languages and multiple delivery specifications.

We build the workflow around the project.

ENTER AT ANY STAGE

Not every project arrives in the same condition.

You may have raw footage that still needs to be reviewed. You may already have a strong edit that requires color, sound and mastering.

You may have a completed campaign that now needs cutdowns, regional versions and platform adaptations.

We can join at any of these stages:

Rushes and raw footage

Media preparation and organization

Story development

Assembly edit

Rough cut

Fine cut

Locked picture

Color and sound finishing

Motion graphics and visual effects

Versioning and localization

Final mastering and delivery

The first step is understanding what already exists, what is missing and what the final content needs to achieve.

CONTENT WE FINISH

Our post production services can support:

Television commercials

Brand and campaign films

Documentaries and factual series

Corporate and industrial films

Television programs

Podcasts and video podcasts

Event films and live recordings

Social and performance content

Training and educational films

Original entertainment formats

Music and performance content

Government and institutional content

International production material

Multilingual campaigns

Short form and digital content

Every format requires a different editorial rhythm, technical workflow and delivery structure.

POST PRODUCTION CAPABILITIES

STORY EDITING AND NARRATIVE STRUCTURE

Editing begins with understanding what the material is trying to become.

We review the footage, interviews, scripts, brief and intended audience before shaping the story.

The process may involve discovering a new structure, removing unnecessary information or finding connections that were not visible during production.

Editorial support can include:

Rushes review

Interview review

Story structure

Paper edits

Scene development

Narrative restructuring

Performance selection

Pacing

Message clarity

Alternative editorial routes

Director and client review sessions

Final story approval

A strong edit does not show everything that was filmed.

It keeps what the audience needs.

MEDIA PREPARATION AND ASSISTANT EDITING

Complex projects can quickly become difficult to manage without a clear media structure.

Before creative editing begins, we organize footage, synchronize sound, prepare proxies and build a reliable project structure.

Media preparation can include:

Footage ingest

File verification

Camera and sound synchronization

Proxy creation

Project organization

Scene and interview logging

Transcript preparation

Multi camera synchronization

Metadata management

Naming systems

Backup verification

Editor handover preparation

A disciplined setup saves time during every later stage of post production.

OFFLINE EDITING

Offline editing is where the main creative decisions are made.

We assemble the material, test different structures, refine performances and develop the rhythm of the final film.

Offline editing can include:

Assembly edits

Rough cuts

Fine cuts

Interview driven films

Documentary editing

Commercial editing

Multi camera editing

Music driven editing

Archive integration

Temporary graphics

Review versions

Client and agency feedback rounds

The process continues until the story, duration and creative direction are ready for final finishing.

ONLINE EDITING AND PICTURE FINISHING

Once the edit is approved, the project moves into final picture preparation.

We reconnect the original media, check every frame and prepare the film for color, sound, graphics and delivery.

Online services can include:

High resolution conform

Shot replacement

Reframing

Stabilization

Retiming

Image cleanup

Screen replacement

Title integration

Final transitions

Broadcast safe checks

Text and logo verification

Picture master preparation

This stage ensures that the approved edit survives the move from working files to the final master.

COLOR CORRECTION AND COLOR GRADING

Color shapes the emotional world of the film.

It can unify footage from different cameras, create a distinctive campaign look or help documentary material feel coherent across changing locations and conditions.

Color services can include:

Technical color correction

Shot matching

Skin tone correction

Exposure balancing

Creative color grading

Look development

Camera matching

Day and night balancing

Product color accuracy

Broadcast compliance

Platform specific checks

Final graded masters

The grade is developed around the story and visual identity, not applied as a generic preset.

SOUND EDITING, DESIGN AND MIXING

Sound often determines how polished, emotional and believable a film feels.

We clean dialogue, build atmosphere, shape transitions and create a final mix that supports the image without competing with it.

Sound services can include:

Dialogue editing

Noise reduction

Audio restoration

Sound effects

Ambience

Foley

Sound design

Music editing

Voice over integration

Stereo mixing

Surround mixing where required

Loudness compliance

Final audio mastering

The final mix is prepared for the environment in which the content will be experienced, whether television, cinema, mobile, social media or an event screen.

AUDIO CLEANUP AND RESTORATION

Field recordings are not always captured under controlled conditions.

Wind, traffic, room noise, electrical interference and inconsistent microphone levels can affect otherwise valuable material.

Audio restoration can include:

Background noise reduction

Hum removal

Click and pop repair

Wind reduction

Dialogue isolation

Level matching

Frequency correction

Distortion reduction

Room tone rebuilding

Problematic interview repair

Not every recording can be restored perfectly, but many problems can be reduced enough to protect the story.

MUSIC DIRECTION AND ORIGINAL COMPOSITION

Music should guide emotion without telling the audience what to feel too aggressively.

We can support the project through licensed music selection, music editing or the coordination of original composition.

Music support can include:

Creative music direction

Reference development

Music search

Licensing coordination

Original composition

Arrangement

Music editing

Theme development

Version adaptation

Final music mix

Licensing terms, territories, platforms and intended usage should be confirmed before release.

MOTION GRAPHICS AND VISUAL EXPLANATION

Graphics can give a film identity, clarity and structure.

We create motion systems that support the content rather than covering it with unnecessary decoration.

Motion graphics can include:

Titles

Lower thirds

End frames

Brand animation

Product information

Maps

Timelines

Data visualization

Diagrams

Interface animation

Explainer sequences

Social templates

Broadcast graphics

Reusable campaign toolkits

Where several deliverables are required, the graphics system can be designed for efficient adaptation across formats and languages.

VISUAL EFFECTS AND CGI

Some ideas cannot be captured entirely during production.

Visual effects and computer generated imagery can extend locations, clean unwanted elements, visualize products or create complete sequences.

Services can include:

Compositing

Object removal

Screen replacement

Image cleanup

Beauty work

Rotoscoping

Tracking

Matte painting

Product visualization

Three dimensional animation

Environment work

CGI integration

Reconstruction

Final visual effects finishing

The technique should serve the idea.

It should not become the idea unless the project requires it.

AI ASSISTED POST PRODUCTION

Artificial intelligence can improve speed and expand creative options when used with judgment.

We apply AI assisted workflows where they provide genuine value, particularly in cleanup, organization, transcription, adaptation and selected visual development.

Possible uses include:

Transcription

Footage search

Translation assistance

Noise reduction

Image cleanup

Object removal

Resolution improvement

Background extension

Version development

Concept visualization

Selected generative elements

AI generated or materially altered content should be reviewed carefully for accuracy, rights, ethics, continuity and brand suitability before release.

CUTDOWNS AND MULTI FORMAT VERSIONS

One master film rarely meets every communication need.

We plan and create additional versions for different platforms, audiences, markets and stages of the campaign.

Deliverables can include:

Six second edits

Ten second edits

Fifteen second edits

Thirty second edits

Long form versions

Vertical versions

Square versions

Widescreen versions

Alternative openings

Different calls to action

Product variations

Audience variations

Social media clips

Clean versions

Textless versions

Where possible, versioning should be considered during production so that the necessary coverage already exists.

SUBTITLES, CAPTIONS AND ACCESSIBILITY

Accessibility and language support should be part of the delivery plan, not a final afterthought.

We prepare subtitles, captions and supporting files according to the intended platforms and audience requirements.

Services can include:

Transcription

English subtitles

Arabic subtitles

Multilingual subtitles

Closed captions

Speaker identification

Sound effect descriptions

Subtitle timing

Burned in subtitles

Separate subtitle files

Accessibility versions

Language quality review

The final format is selected according to the delivery destination and accessibility requirements.

LOCALIZATION AND INTERNATIONAL VERSIONS

Content should feel natural to the audience receiving it.

We manage language versions while protecting timing, tone and visual consistency across markets.

Localization can include:

Script translation

Cultural adaptation

Voice over

Dubbing

Dialogue replacement

Subtitle creation

Graphics replacement

Localized end frames

Legal line adaptation

Market specific edits

Language specific masters

International delivery packages

The workflow can support one additional language or a larger multi market campaign.

MASTERING AND QUALITY CONTROL

The final master must meet the requirements of the channel receiving it.

We prepare content for broadcasters, streaming platforms, cinema, events, websites and paid media according to the required technical specifications.

Mastering can include:

Picture and sound checks

Frame rate confirmation

Resolution checks

Color space checks

Audio channel mapping

Loudness compliance

Codec selection

Caption verification

Text and logo checks

Broadcast masters

Digital platform masters

Cinema packages where required

Clean masters

Archive masters

Quality control is the final opportunity to catch errors before the content reaches the audience.

DELIVERY AND ASSET MANAGEMENT

Large campaigns can produce hundreds of files.

Without a clear delivery system, teams lose time identifying the correct version, language or format.

Our delivery workflow can include:

File naming systems

Version control

Approval tracking

Organized folder structures

Master and derivative separation

Language organization

Platform organization

Delivery logs

Secure file transfer

Archive preparation

Source file handover

Final delivery documentation

Every recipient should be able to identify the correct file without opening several versions first.

REMOTE POST PRODUCTION FOR INTERNATIONAL TEAMS

Post production does not require every stakeholder to be in the same city.

We work with directors, producers, agencies, brands, broadcasters and platforms across different markets through structured remote review and approval workflows.

Remote collaboration can include:

Secure media transfer

Review links

Time coded feedback

Live editing reviews

Director sessions

Agency and client approval rounds

Version tracking

Centralized notes

Restricted access where required

International delivery

A clear feedback system keeps the project moving even when several teams and time zones are involved.

ONE MASTER. EVERY VERSION IT NEEDS.

The value of post production extends beyond creating one finished film.

A well structured post production workflow can generate:

Main master film

Shorter campaign edits

Social media cutdowns

Vertical and square versions

Broadcast masters

Localized versions

Speaker or product edits

Event versions

Clean masters

Textless masters

Archive materials

Future campaign assets

Planning these outputs early protects the budget, timeline and creative consistency of the project.
