Although more editing work is done in entertainment post production than in many other genres, producers coming into entertainment for the first time will find that by putting in as much as planning as possible in advance of the shoot, many problems will disappear or become easier for editors to deal with. Even after the shoot, through good process, the edit can be quicker and smoother, even on fast turnround material. But whatever happens, don’t just leave it to the editors to “fix it in post” – they might not be able to.
