Rough cut in practice
It follows the assembly, where the editor simply strings the selected takes together. The rough cut is where the film's structure and length are judged; it is followed by a fine cut and finally by picture lock. Clients who are not used to the process need to be told what is missing before they watch one.
Where it lives in CrewDesk
In CrewDesk each version sent for review is a task with a due date and an owner, so the team knows whether the production is waiting on the editor or on the client.
