Post-production
Configuring the pipeline
The pipeline isn't fixed — you shape it to match how your studio actually works. You decide which stages a batch runs through, separately for photo and for video.
What you can configure
Every studio's process is different. If you don't mix audio in-house, switch that stage off; if you have a dedicated colour step, keep it on. You can enable, disable, reorder, and rename stages to the words your team uses.
A few stages are always present — Selected, Keyworded, Release-ready, and Upload. They're the backbone every batch needs; everything between them is yours to shape.
When changes take effect
A batch's pipeline is fixed when the batch is created, so later config changes don't reshape batches already in flight. That keeps work predictable — configure the pipeline before starting a season's batches.

Common questions
Can I change the post-production stages?
Yes. Enable, disable, reorder, and rename stages, separately for photo and video — except the few mandatory ones.
Which stages can't be turned off?
Selected, Keyworded, Release-ready, and Upload are always present; everything between them is configurable.
Do pipeline changes affect batches already running?
No. A batch's pipeline is fixed when it's created, so configure it before starting a season's batches.
