• Locked Picture
- For delivery on a disc or hard drive, preferred formats are Avid DNxHD 36 or Apple Pro Res 422 for HD picture; DV or Motion JPEG A for SD picture.
- There must be a timecode window burn in the upper left corner and a footage (feet and frames) counter in the upper right corner.
- There must be a visual and audible 2-Pop exactly two seconds before the first frame of picture (FFOA) and another one exactly two seconds after the end of the last frame of picture (LFOA). The pop should be one frame in length.
- There should be an audio guide track for the movie in sync with the picture. Dialog should be on the left channel and any temp music and editor’s sound effects should be on the right channel.
- Each reel should start on the hour mark for it's respective reel number. So reel one would start at 01:00:00:00, reel 2 at 02:00:00:00, etc.
• OMF version 2 or AAF with embedded audio.
- Usually tracks 1-4 are reserved for production audio with the rest of the tracks being used for temp music and editor’s sound effects.
- Handles should be at least 30 seconds in length.
- The audio region names must have the scene and shot info in them.
eg. 32B-4 for shot 32, B angle and take 4.
• Audio and Video EDLs in CMX3600 format. These should be sent as plain text files.
• If you are using Final Cut Pro as your video editor, you should also send an XML document of your edit session.
• The original recordings and their associated sound reports.
- Basically I need all of the original production sound and the paperwork associated with it.
• A list of shooting dates for each scene.
• A copy of the shooting script as an editable text file.
• The lined script.
• A contact sheet if not already delivered.
If you have any questions about any of these requirements, please contact me.
Thank you.
