Explanation:
The movie production of Barbara Woods' and Rosamunde Pilchers' novels have increased the already sizeable workload of special effects companies since the blockbuster movies now also receive their post-production editing before they leave the production facility.

This has got to be it.

Explanation:
The film versions of the novels by Barbara Woods and Rosamunde Pilcher increase the already good (sufficient) workload of the effects companies as the blockbusters since also adapt to their post-production at the exit from the production facility.

Tough one, hope I understood the meaning of "erfahren" in this context.

disagree  Klaus Dorn (X): if it was "ihre", ok, but it says "ihrer", so it has to be something with "to"
