Frequently Asked Questions

The questions that reach Annodex most, answered briefly, and the address to use when yours is not among them.

Can I use your tips for professional work?

Yes. Most of our advice comes from paid projects. Check versions of software before you rely on a specific menu or setting.

Do you review gear?

Sometimes, but we prefer explaining what matters over ranking products. When we mention a specific tool, we say what we tested it with.

Who writes Annodex?

Three working media people: a video editor and colourist, an audio and podcast producer, and a captioning lead. Each article names its author.

Why so much about online games?

Games are a huge part of modern media. Their trailers, cutscenes, sound design and subtitles are made with the same skills as film and podcasts, often under tighter limits.

Do you accept sponsored posts?

Some links on the site are commercial and are disclosed in our editorial policy. Sponsors never decide what we recommend.

How do I report a mistake?

Write to the address on our contact page with the article link. We correct errors in place and note the change.
