In this paper, some recent developments of the professional volumetric video production workflow are presented. The processing workflow for capture and production of volumetric video has been continuously evolved and novel processing modules and modifications in the workflow have been introduced. Thanks to a large number of test productions and new requirements from customers, several lessons have been learnt during the first year of commercial activity. This technology captures real persons with our novel volumetric capture system and creates naturally moving dynamic 3D models, which can then be observed from arbitrary viewpoints in a virtual or augmented environment. The core technology for volumetric video production is 3D Human Body Reconstruction (3DHBR), developed by Fraunhofer HHI. After a testing phase, commercial productions started in November 2018. In June 2018, Fraunhofer HHI together with Studio Babelsberg, ARRI, UFA, and Interlake founded the joint venture Volucap GmbH and opened a commercial volumetric video studio on the film campus of Potsdam Babelsberg.
