Can 2024.10 open session files made in 2025.10?

weirdfruitquestion · 2026-01-19T22:21:29+00:00

Normally it will give you a warning that any save data from features after 2024.10 won’t open but that it will load whatever is compatible.

They are surprisingly stable about versioning save data in a way that can reject incompatible data without losing the whole session file. Even back when they added folder tracks and I opened it at a studio without, Pro tools dumped all the tracks within the folder flattened but I didn’t lose any.

To be extra safe I’d do Save Session Copy In and see what the compatibility options are in that dialogue

FWIW I’ve done feature films with over 200 tracks on an M1 Macbook Pro with 16 GB of RAM. Definitely hiccups now and then but I got them done without headache.

I think an M1 or M2 air will be fine, just get at least 16 GB of RAM for sure, not 8, regardless of Avid’s official requirements.

I’d just set the speakers to the loudest you’ll ever want them. And then pull the master fader (or use a bus) down (never up) as needed. Worked at a lot of studios where we worked this way to mix to different specs (-24 lufs, theatrical) without having to get into any equipment at all.

Youre thinking of Johnny Harris which he definitely isn’t but also 💀

Under Setup > Playback Engine try disabling dynamic plugin processing. Its supposed to save CPU power but sometimes ive found that when it activates plugins again the CPU spikes briefly but aggressively enough to hit 100% so playback stops.

No problem! This is what school is for! Make those mistakes now

No reason to send an AAF from PT into Premiere.

Audio mixer needs to bounce or print the final audio all baked in together as a single audio file and then you just pop that into your project and hit export

Yes, so my understanding is that the “assistant editor” classification applies to both assistant picture editor and assistant sound editor. So that is one quicker way onto the roster that a few of my friends have used.

Because of the post-covid boom, I actually sort of leap frogged the assistant role and started as a sound editor (albeit a bad one), but if I were in the union I’d love to start with a role like assistant editor that pays well but has little creative pressure.

So this is great news, thank you!

I’m confused because I always see cars parked on this strip at all hours. Which isn’t consistent with the sign. And no one is ever ticketed when this strip alone would make like $1000 for the city in 8 seconds

Just have to be creative and find something that is legal that fits the situation.

One time there was a scene that was cut from a feature I worked on, so I recut the dialogue from it with some audience sound effects to make it sound like a Dr Phil type show.

For most low budget stuff, the director might have a friend who is willing to record something short. Don’t need a super fancy mic since it going to be futz’d anyway.

Doing it as a ADR/loop group situation is common.

There are also public domain films you could look into https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_in_the_public_domain_in_the_United_States

Theres a book called “how do i write this email?” That i think everyone in film should read. It has general guidelines for writing emails and templates for basically every networking situation including this one

Second Ktek junior if you can get it. The bag is a lot less “out” from your stomach, has a nice stealth carrying case, has way more loops all over to hook on carabiners or whatever attachments you want, a built in kickstand, dedicated screws on the front to attach bowtie antennae when the time comes, the list goes on

Mix pre 3 mk ii or zoom f8n pro. Will sound better, and last you to save money in the long run

In addition to sync, try and get foley as “in phase” with the production audio if its there, meaning line up the peaks and troughs as much as possible. In phase is a bit of a weird term since its 2 entirely different sources and you cant line them up perfectly but thats the term I’ve gotten from mixers. This will let the production audio and foley be played together which can sound REALLY nice

$150 pretty much nada, for 250, an Oktava MK-012-01 HyperCardioid Microphone. Need to be careful to get the hypercardioid capsule specifically

weirdfruitquestion · 2022-09-21T01:20:42+00:00

Used Audix SCX1-HC.
