AI in Post-Production
Post is where AI quietly earns its keep — not by cutting your film, but by killing the drudge work around the cut. Transcription editing, rough-cut assists, color first-passes, audio cleanup, upscaling, and captions: the working filmmaker's guide to finishing faster.
What you'll learn
✓Build an AI post stack — transcription, edit assists, color, and audio cleanup
✓Cut faster with text-based editing and AI selects — without losing the rhythm
✓Use AI color and audio tools as the first pass — never the final say
✓Rescue footage with upscaling, restoration, and cleanup — at indie cost
