efterredigeras

Efterredigeras is a Swedish verb form meaning “to be post-edited” or “to undergo after-editing” in media production. It derives from the verb efterredigera, formed by the prefix efter- meaning “after” and redigera meaning “to edit”; the present passive is marked with -s, giving efterredigeras as the neutral passive form.

In film, television and digital media production, efterredigering refers to the post-editing stage that follows an initial edit. During this phase, editors and sound designers refine cuts, perform color grading, adjust audio levels, insert effects, and add subtitles or captions. The term is used in schedules, production notes and job descriptions to indicate that material is not ready for publication until after this step. It contrasts with primary editing (redigering) and with pre-editing or pre-production activities.

Usage notes: The passive form efterredigeras is often used without an explicit subject, especially in procedural contexts. Example: “Materialet efterredigeras av redigerarna innan publicering.” The concept aligns with international terms such as post-production or post-editing, and in Swedish it coexists with the noun efterredigering to denote the process itself.
