love this! no one else is showing content like this! Thanks again
Glad to help
Thank you for this video! Very helpful, exporting a feature now and this helps. I’ve left my project in 20 minute reels. I hope that works for the sound team in LA. Best, Tom
Thank you so much! Will be adding this link to my “delivery to sound” spec for DaVinci users. 🙏🏼
Thank you being a sub for 2 years!
Amazing work
Oh!!! Great 👍👍👍. This video is a concentrate of very and very usefull information of how things in big production goes. A thousent thanks to you for the channel.
Thanks for sharing this important thing
My pleasure
you are great
Ripper! Thank you.
Thank you!!
Just trying to help
Doing a post production series similar to the one you did win pro tools but for davinci would be cool and helpful for those in davinci!
Thanks for this video Thomas. One thing I'm curious about: Have you found that using embedded wipes the metadata from the production tracks? This is an issue I deal with when I receive embedded AAFs from premiere pro so I always request unembedded when dealing with a multi mic setup so I can see the information on boom/lav/plant/etc.
Would be interesting to see same workflow from media composer to pro tools and back.
You use QT! Well I use Pro Tools 8. In fact I was lucky enough to buy version 7 with the upgrade amnesty so I own both versions 7 & 8 from the Digidesign era. 😊
Shouldn't the start of the countdown be at 1 second after the start of the timeline and not 2
Hey Tom. First off, thanks for always putting out these videos they are of immense help.
A client exported their project AAF with these exact settings on this video but when I load it into PT, I get this:
" Could not complete your request because Assertion in "..\ ..\ FF\ Audio\ FF_AudioFile.cpp", line 1092.
(Use the Copy button to copy this message to the clipboard.). "
I'm on PT 12.5. Is there a workaround for this? Thanks.
There are probably muted clips in their timeline
@@ThomasBoykin Thanks for the reply. There were no muted tracks. We tried exporting using "Linear PCM" as the codec and it worked fine. Audio files were exported to a folder instead of embedding in the AAF, but it worked.
Hey Tom, sorry this has nothing to do with this video’s topic, but I didn’t know how else to reach you (I couldn’t find your email address on your website). I bought the practice project from your store, but I’m having issues with the download. The download finished, but the ZIP file won’t open (it didn’t download the entire file). And now it says the maximum number of downloads has been reached. Just wondering what I should do. Thanks!
Thanks for letting me know. Can you let me know your email, I will send you a download link
I’ve been trying to reply to this comment with my email address, but my comment keeps getting removed. Not sure if you’re seeing them 🤔.
Unfortunately, when your mixer labeled each channel on the set, Davinci no labled this information, and sound on post just receive A1 A2 A3 instead ''Mike Lav'' ''Jack Lav'' etc. Its painful when you have a bunch talents, who shoted on a different days. So maybe you have solution? Thanks
For complex projects I would always recommend assembling the production sound using field recorder workflow or Kraken
@@ThomasBoykin It would be great to see your workflow on this setup. Thanks for your Job!
Two pops and countdowns.. .DAMN, Daddy... spoil me. DNxHD is the best for ProTools because of bad Avid oversight. That is true. But the files are going to be HUGE. If you are on the same network and it's 1 - 10gigabits... fine. If you have to send the file via the internet, use an MP4 with whatever flavor of codec is small enough for the work. I'll convert to DNxHD on my end. It's faster than that huge download and much more reliable.
If the audio came in at 24bits, make sure that you export at 24 bits. A lot of field audio guys will record too conservatively. If I'm applying noise reduction (in 99% of cases I will), those extra bits will help enormously. Especially if you don't like chirps in your audio.
The only other thing I will add is to NOT... tinker with your timeline when it's out for audio post. Sometimes a quick little re-edit sneaks in and now nothing aligns in the post audio version. If you're color correcting, that's fine. But too many times, I've taken heat for "not syncing" with the final master when my work copy is perfect. I WILL call you out on that. I don't work for free.
All extremely good points! MP4 is not a viable format for sync, but if file size is an option sending an mp4 and converting to dnxhd is usually ok.
@@ThomasBoykin I've never experienced an issue with synchronization with MP4s of all durations. The AAFs and OMFs stay true. You might need to further explain yourself.
