SCENE 01 / POST PRODUCTION AUDIO
Post-Production Audio in Saudi Arabia
Professional sound editing, ADR, Foley, and mixing for film and TV productions.
Here is how this works in practice. Post-prod audio transforms raw location recordings into a polished, immersive soundtrack. With access to Saudi Arabia's new studio infrastructure including NEOM and MBC Studios, we connect you with engineers skilled in Arabic and many-tongue post-prod. This phase covers dialogue editing, ADR, sound design, Foley, music scoring, and final mixing, all working as one to create the layered audio experience that supports and boosts the visual storytelling.
Here is the short of it. We connect you with post-prod audio facilities and engineers across Saudi Arabia who deliver broadcast and cinema-standard results. Our team sets up the full audio post workflow from dialogue cleanup through final mix, working with facilities including NEOM Studios, MBC Studios, and audio post facilities in Riyadh and Jeddah, making sure your project meets tech delivery needs and creative expectations.

Here is how this works in practice. Saudi audio post infrastructure scaled hard during 2019-2024. The growth supported two slates. The domestic feature slate has Sattar (which broke the Saudi box-office record in 2022) plus Barakah Meets Barakah, Wadjda, The Perfect Candidate, and Scales — the auteur tier. The global slate has Kandahar, Desert Warrior, Cherry (partial AlUla), and Born a King.
MBC Studios Riyadh and Jeddah run Dolby Atmos-certified dub stages. The kit covers Avid S6 consoles, Pro Tools HDX, Avid MTRX I/O, and 9.1.6 tracking. NEOM Bajdah Studios holds a similar Atmos-spec dub room dedicated to in-house production.
Here is the short of it. Manga Productions (the Saudi-Japan anime JV with Toei Animation) runs a real-time anime audio pipeline. Japanese-trained engineers staff it. That is useful when shoots need Arabic and Japanese version delivery in parallel. Telfaz11 and Big Time Studios both keep post audio rooms for narrative work.
Arabic ADR talent and direction is concentrated in Riyadh (MBC's Studio City) and Jeddah. Capacity is also growing at JAX District Diriyah (the arts hub adjacent to UNESCO Diriyah Al-Turaif).
Here is the breakdown. Foley stages, sound design, and Arabic localization workflows tie into the wider Saudi content ecosystem. Saudi Music Commission programs feed classic oud, nay, qanun, and Bedouin percussion talent into score and source-music work. Ithra (King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture) in Dhahran hosts the Saudi Film Festival (oldest in the kingdom, since 2008). It also gives documentary-grade Foley and sound design facilities.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Cultural Development Fund rebates qualification covers post audio. Two conditions apply. First, the work happens inside Saudi at registered facilities. Second, the project meets Saudization Nitaqat hiring thresholds. The 35% base plus 5% Saudi content uplift applies to Arabic-version ADR, mix, and master delivery.
Multi-language versioning is standard. Arabic covers Saudi/Khaleeji plus MSA. English covers UK and US delivery splits. French serves Maghreb markets. Urdu and Hindi serve expat audiences. Saudi Broadcasting Corporation and Al Arabiya broadcast loudness specs (EBU R 128, ATSC A/85) are routinely handled in-house.
