Digital intermediate
|
A digital intermediate in digital film is a process by which sections of, or the entirety of a motion picture is digitized through the use of a 35mm film scanner, into digital image files, manipulated in some manner, typically with color grading and digital special effects, and displayed or projected, either in a digital form, also known as digital cinema, or recorded to film, using a laser film recorder, for traditional film projection.
It may also be argued that a digital intermediate is merely a process of creating motion picture content using digital means, regardless of the source or destination material.
