Editing Stages
In this stage, you organize your bins.
Prepping
All the video and audio files that are a result of your production process.
Camera original footage
End-to-end all the shots of a scene, or a sequence of scenes, or even an entire short film, without selecting to precisely the parameters of each shot.
Assembly Cut
Cuts the picture and sound on the same frame.
Straight Cut
This involves finessing all of the edits one by one.
Fine Cut
In this stage you color grade.
Finishing
Camera takes associated with production audio (double-system sound) at the end of the day.
Dailies
A version of the film in which all scenes have been edited fairly tightly, but usually with the basic tools available in the edit system.
Rough Cut
Makes the image cut happen at a different time than the audio transition.
Split Edits
The process of combining the video and audio with the applied effect to create a new media file.
Rendering
In this stage, you create the Assembly Cut.
Editing
When do we have the opportunity to evaluate performance and scene coverage?
Dailies
Tracks that are similar in nature, but not the actual final audio.
Temp Tracks
Completely disconnecting either the sync audio or video from its original linked clip and inserting it over a shot that is continuous. Also known as J & L cuts.
Insert Cut
Once the film is 'perfect', all of the creative editing decisions are done, and you've decided you will not trim a single frame more.
Picture Lock
How many editing stages are there?
3
Notes on which shots are not great.
Outtakes
When you show a rough cut to a select few of people for a fresh perspective, and to get some constructive criticism, while you are editing and can do something about it.
Review Screenings
What stage do you edit dialogue?

Includes removing temp tracks and adding final music, sound effects, and ambience tracks.
Sound Design

Prepping
Notes on which shots are great.
Selects
3 to 5 people, including people you know and trust, but not people with too much familiarity with the project (which would defeat the purpose of the screening.
