Digital Intermediate refers to the process of digitizing and manipulating film footage using digital tools. It allows filmmakers to have greater control over the color, contrast, and overall look of the film. DI typically involves scanning the original film negative or digital camera files into a digital format, editing the footage, applying visual effects, and then converting it back to the desired format for distribution.
