CREATIVE REVIEW · Workflow idea

Prepare a useful matte handoff while keeping edges, identity, and source footage open to inspection.

For authorized work involving authorized production footage, proposed subject mattes, quality checks, and compositing handoff files, prepare subject matte passes and quality notes from authorized footage for a compositor to review. Matte errors can obscure people or objects, and source footage may be confidential or identify performers. Confirm footage rights and consent, limit access and retention, compare every pass with the original frame range, preserve source versions, and require a compositor to approve handoff and downstream use. Explain information use and retention, obtain required consent, respect source and reuse rights, verify important details, and keep external or consequential actions under human approval.
