How multimedia projects get done: production pipelines, project organization, and asset management.
Multimedia projects have more moving parts than most software projects: source media, project files, intermediate renders, and delivery copies all coexist, and each stage can multiply the others. This section covers the workflows that keep those parts in order.
It starts with the production pipeline, the series of stages a project moves through from concept to delivery, and the places where automation and scripting help.
