TECHNICAL DELIVERY SPECS
Film, Timecode
& EDL
Resolution: 1920 x 1080
Codec: Avid DNxHD36 or Apple ProRes 422 Proxy
Please also provide a H.264 compressed versionTimecode: small timecode counter, placed in the upper right corner
First frame of action at “full hour” e.g. 01:00:00:00
Avoid any timecode or watermarks in the lower half of the picture, as this will make my work a lot harder and sometimes impossible!Technical leader: movie file starts at 00:59:50:00 on black, with a 1-frame sync beep & pop frame at 00:59:58:00 (which is 2sec before film start, see above)
It’s important to supply a Picture Cut EDL (without sound cuts) with each version of your film!
For Foley projects, please also provide a (Temp) Dialogue bounce with channel splitting: original sync sound on L-, any Temp music & SFX on R-channel.
Audio OMF/AAF
Depending on your project, you might supply edited audio tracks as OMF/AAF.
Please keep different material on seperate tracks:
Voiceover, Boom, Clip-Mics, Stereo-Atmos, TempSFX, (Temp)Music, …If you have used an external sound recorder, please make sure the meta-data remains intact during import & editing, so the original sound files can be relinked; don’t “export” but rather “link to“ your edited audio material as OMF/AAF. You can read more on this in the BVFT guide here (German only).
If you have not used any external sound recorder, or as a backup solution to the workflow above, you can “export” your OMF/AAF with 10sec “handle-length”. Don’t choose “embedded“ OMF/AAF.
I’m happy to get your entire Audio Bin of the project, exported in an organized way so that it’s easy to connect e.g. day of shooting, location and scene, to quickly find related audio material.
Please provide any sound reports as text-searchable PDF.
Music Quality
Do yourself a favour and provide any music in proper quality, e.g. at least 16Bit/44,1kHz WAV/AIF (CD quality). Original score is to be produced in 24Bit/48kHz (double-check with your composer!).
