What Are the Reasons for Duplication?

Duplication is a post-production process that involves making a copy of the film so that the original can be preserved while any other post-production effects can be applied to the copies. From open / closed captioning to frame rate conversion, transcoding, and more, duplication is an important part of the post-production process to prevent unnecessary wear and tear on the original film.

Open / Closed Captioning

Open / closed captioning enables the deaf and hard of hearing to enjoy watching their favorite television, movie, and commercial productions with the ability to follow along with the characters’ dialogue and a description of any sounds or noises that contribute to the storyline, such as a baby crying or a door slamming. Related captioning services also include multilingual subtitling to allow for a global audience.
