Post-Production Supervisor Services
Post-prod management across Portugal.
Here is how this works in practice. A post-prod supervisor manages the entire post-prod workflow, setting up editorial, visual effects, sound, grading, and final delivery.

The post supervisor is the single point of accountability for everything that happens after principal photography.

Our network has pros skilled in features, series, and commercial campaigns, each set to overseeing multi-vendor workflows and delivering final masters that meet distributor and broadcast specs.

Portuguese post supervisors managing Avid, DaVinci, and Dolby Vision pipelines from Lisbon and Porto bays
Here is how this works in practice. Our post supervisors run Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Pro Tools, and Nuke pipelines from Lisbon (Tobis Portuguesa post bays, LXmedia, Light Film Group, Atalaia) and Porto, with ACES, IMF, Dolby Vision HDR, and Dolby Atmos delivery for theatrical and streaming masters. Editors João Braz (Pedro Costa's collaborator on Vitalina Varela, Locarno Golden Leopard 2019), Telmo Churro (Miguel Gomes's editor on Tabu, Berlin Silver Bear 2012, and Grand Tour, Cannes Best Director Prize 2024), and Margarida Lucas anchor picture-edit oversight, with colour and sound finish for Netflix's Glória (2021, first Portuguese Netflix first), Rabo de Peixe / White Lines (2022 Azores), 1899 (Netflix 2022 Babelsberg-Portugal), and visiting-feature post on Indiana Jones 5: Dial of Destiny (2023 Sintra and Tomar Templar unit).
Here is the short of it. Compliance and delivery operate against Netflix, Amazon Prime, Apple TV+, HBO Max, and Disney+ tech specs, RTP/SIC/TVI/CMTV Portuguese broadcast deliverables, and theatrical DCP masters via ICA-aligned approval chains. Supervisors set up with IGAC (Inspeção-Geral das Atividades Culturais) for film type. With CNPD (Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados) for RGPD-compliant rushes-and-master handling. With ATA carnet logistics through Lisbon and Porto airports for visiting drives and master tapes.
Here is how the work shapes up. Crews deploy under STE terms with reciprocal IATSE Local 700 (Motion Picture Editors Guild) plan ready for US visiting shoots, trabalho independente Segurança Social sign-ups for freelancers, and 23% IVA invoicing handled by our line producers. ICA cash rebates (25-30%, €4M cap) post-spend tracking is structured early in budget work to maximise local-spend qualification.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a post-production supervisor do?
Here is the breakdown. A post-prod supervisor manages the entire post-prod workflow, setting up editing, sound design, visual effects, grading, and final delivery. They create and keep the post schedule, manage vendor relationships, track deliverables, and make sure the project moves efficiently from rough cut through to final master.
What skills should a post-production supervisor have?
Here is what that looks like on the ground. A post-prod supervisor needs full knowledge of post-prod workflows, tech formats, and delivery specs. They must be highly organized, skilled at managing budgets and schedules, and able to set up many vendors and departments at once while expecting and resolving bottlenecks.
What types of productions need a post-production supervisor?
Here is how the picture comes together. Feature films, television series, and large-scale commercials with complex post-prod needs gain most from a dedicated supervisor. Any project involving many post-prod vendors, visual effects, extensive sound work, or tight delivery deadlines is well served by this role.
How do you match a post-production supervisor to my production?
Here is what we have to work with. We check your project's post-prod complexity, number of deliverables, visual effects scope, and timeline, then recommend supervisors skilled with similar workflows. We make sure they are familiar with your delivery needs and the tech specs of your distribution platforms.
At what stage should a post-production supervisor get involved?
Here is the layout. Ideally, a post-prod supervisor is brought on during pre-production so they can plan the workflow, set up tech pipelines, and set up with the editorial and VFX teams before shooting starts. Early role helps prevent costly tech issues and makes sure a smooth transition from production into post.
