4.5 Inputs & Outputs

The primary inputs to the geometry workl ow are:
• Imagery
• Metadata
• Geometry Review Reports
The primary outputs from the geometry workl ow are:

• Geometry Workl ow Masters
• Geometry Decision Lists

4.5.1 Dailies/Footage
Dailies consist of imagery and metadata from production. This is relevant
if you are in postproduction while production (principal photography) is
still happening or if you are doing on-set dailies (or both!). If production
has already concluded then your imagery and metadata are considered
“footage.” As in 2D post, 3D footage is stored as discrete or muxed sequential
i les or streams of video on various digital media. Feedback from geometry
reviews can help correct geometry issues on-set, freeing your team up for
other responsibilities. In addition to more traditional work in the post suites,
you and your team may i nd yourself responsible for processing on-set
