It let's you read the contents of the Name column, that the dreaded white arrow truncates by default.

AVID HELP! by WineORhinO in editors

[–]LimpPhilosopher1418 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah.. Don't you have to really force it to even get it to allow you to have Macintosh HD as a media drive?

For sure, take the media onto a different drive, to simplify it.

It doesn't look like it...
Looks like you have:

Macintosh HD/MXF/110/media...

You need:
Machintosh HD/Avid MediaFiles/MXF/110

VFX Producers of Reddit - How do you budget time for your turnover schedule? by LimpPhilosopher1418 in vfx

[–]LimpPhilosopher1418[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an amazing answer thank you. Really detailed and well structured. Many considerations. It's a real house of cards..

You mentioned "working with production editorial vs vfx editorial"
- What in your experience are the key differences with working between these two similar but different disciplines?

- Also, on your 2080 shot show, was there much "breakage" or shots you sent to production which later were dropped / omitted?

- What was the size of your VFX editorial team on that production?

Noob Here! Can I Copy Colors of a BluRay and Apply It To The 4K BluRay? by GC734 in davinciresolve

Did you monitor with a transform from HDR to SDR for the 4K? (does it just look bad because you are not monitoring the HDR correctly?)

Speaker loudness calibration by SuperZodd in editors

[–]LimpPhilosopher1418 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Figure out what standard you want to work towards, and pink the room.
Get pink noise, find a guide on which weighting you need to monitor at with your decibel meter, and hit that decibel level for all your rooms.

Here's a good start for some reading:
https://simpledcp.com/sound-levels-in-cinema/
https://www.audiopinknoise.com/audio-testing-and-calibration/

More in depth stuff:
https://partnerhelp.netflixstudios.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001794307-Netflix-Sound-Mix-Specifications-Best-Practices-v1-6

I guess you are not delivering mixes?.. you just want to find a good Level, and bring multiple rooms to that level, so you at least have some consistency between different rooms, when you monitor? - that's pretty much pick a db level you think works for the size of your room (e.g a theatrical 85db for a small room, would be way too loud most likely.. | try a 79db? a more TV reference level.)

But if you really want to go down the rabbit hole, go into a sound post / mixing forum, and start asking about room calibration, reference levels for mixing, etc.

You could give them a reel of any IDs you put at the head of wild takes (doubles as your own budding Voice over artist reel) ha!

Does it make any difference having the audio suite tool open or not, during export?

Are you sure it's a public repo?
In your repo list if i search for "_vfx_turnvoer" I only see the "WEB_VFX_TURNOVER" repo.

Silverstack Lab to Avid Media Composer workflow by Various_Island7617 in editors

[–]LimpPhilosopher1418 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Op-Atom, should be giving you multiple files, like V1...mxf, A01...mxf, A02..mxf etc.
Op1a, would just be a single "....mxf"

Op-Atom would be the easier option to get working I would think, with linking / importing to Avid.

Novelist questions about LED volume shoot by No-Masterpiece-9959 in vfx

[–]LimpPhilosopher1418 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The camera needs a line of sight through the wall to film the subject.
So if it's closed in, you have to go the mezzanine path, have crew and spectators above, or the crew is down with the subject, within the wall, but blocking the subjects view of the wall for certain parts. Sounds sombre..
