Perform technical quality control across picture, sound, captions, graphics, color, frame rates, codecs, aspect ratios, naming, and destination requirements.
Maintain organized media, proxies, project files, graphics, music, licenses, captions, review links, masters, and archives so work remains searchable and reusable.
