<p>What is the difference between <a href="https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/post-production" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;post-production&#39;" rel="tag">post-production</a> and <a href="https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/post-processing" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;post-processing&#39;" rel="tag">post-processing</a>, or are they synonyms? Should they be merged?<sup>1</sup></p>

<p><a href="https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/post-production" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;post-production&#39;" rel="tag">post-production</a> has no description whatsoever.</p>

<p>After looking at <a href="https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/70710/what-are-tag-synonyms-and-merged-tags-how-do-they-work">What are tag synonyms and merged tags? How do they work?</a>, We can make <a href="https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/post-processing" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;post-processing&#39;" rel="tag">post-processing</a> the master and <a href="https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/post-production" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;post-production&#39;" rel="tag">post-production</a> the slave <strong>synonym</strong>. This would seem to be a logical relationship given the number of questions tagged respectively. This relationship can be easily removed, if deemed to be incorrect.</p>

<p>If, after some time, everyone is happy with this arrangement, then the two will be <strong>merged</strong>.</p>

<p>Does that sound like a plan and does anyone have any objections..?</p>

This includes tasks such as the editing of raw footage to cut scenes, insert transition effects, working with voice and sound actors, and dubbing, to name a few of the many pre-production tasks. Post-production is the third and final step in film creation. It follows the pre-production and production phases.
