PostOpzPostOpz was founded by Michael Newton—an Avid Certified Professional, editor, and post-production leader who built systems to keep editors focused on editing. After years across assistant editing, picture editing, and post leadership, he created PostOpz to turn hard-earned workflow experience into scalable systems, practical training, and agent-ready editorial intelligence.
PostOpz did not start with generic software documentation. It started with the operational problems that show up repeatedly in real editorial environments—and the systems that solve them.
Years spent organizing media, building projects, supporting editors, managing turnovers, troubleshooting workflows, and delivering long-form productions shaped the operating logic behind PostOpz. The Framework turns those repeatable decisions into a professional system other editors and post teams can use.
Editors should not lose creative time to avoidable operational friction. PostOpz focuses on the systems, support, structure, and workflow intelligence around the edit so creative teams can stay focused on story.
