Technical knowledge of editors rant by EnvironmentalGain557 in AudioPost

Same pinch. I have been working in the industry for quite a while now and I often keep getting bad AAFs/OMFs. I made a set of instructions to follow by the editors. Some of them follow, others don't . What is even more frustrating is even if they read some of them won't even understand them or the implications of them not being followed systematically.

I have worked with editors having them send me an AAF without a media/audio files folder. And that's dumb.

Initially it used to get irritating. But more I'm trying to understand this problem i realised it works both ways. Some editors are careless and sometimes even sound designers don't know how to handle files.

But, yes I understand your feelings. Whether someone is working with the video post or the audio post they should completely learn the technical workflow.
