FMTV23-YR3 - Portfolio Delivery Specs

<head> <meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow"> </head> # PREPARATION Watch and listen to your entire exported film from top to tail, without stopping, as your audience members will. Conduct test exports in the days before your deadline so that you have sufficient time to conduct any final revisions, troubleshoot as necessary, and fully review your final exported film prior to final delivery. Expecting to work right up to your respective deadline without scheduling a margin of contingency is not advised. Please ensure to plan accordingly. Review each element (VFX, stereo mix, lower thirds, graphics, etc.) as they are delivered from your respective Post Departments for final layback into your DaVinci Resolve timeline. If possible, deliver in advance to avoid the rush! You may contact John by email at the coordinates below. ## TECHNICAL CONTACT I will be available throughout the week to assist, if your team encounters technical gremlins. 👾 ![[Signature JRH.png]] # DELIVERY DETAILS ## DEADLINE Thursday, June 1st, 2023 – 09:00-12:00 Noon > [!Warning] > FILMS DELIVERED AFTER THIS DEADLINE MAY NOT BE SCREENED ## LOCATION LB114 - Delivered to John on the LB_SAN Storage Drive in the following folders, for each respective film: > [!Film] .MOV Mezzanine File with Integrated Stereo Mix > > ``` > /Volumes/LB_SAN/_FMTV23 3Y Elements/##-PRT-Title/_12 Final Deliverables - Picture and Mix/Final Pic Deliverables > ``` > > [!Speaker] .WAV Stereo Mix and Audio Stems > ``` > /Volumes/LB_SAN/_FMTV23 3Y Elements/##-PRT-Title/_12 Final Deliverables - Picture and Mix/Mix Finish > ``` > [!Save] Example Delivery Filepath: > ![[LB_SAN - PRT Delivery Folder 230601.png]] > - [[LB_SAN - Manual Connection|Connecting to the LB_SAN]] ## FILE NAMING CONVENTION ``` ##-PRT-Title of Film-YYMMDDddd.mov ``` - [ ] **##:** Production ID Number - [ ] **PRT**: Production Category (Portfolio) - [ ] **TITLE OF FILM**: Final Screening Title (Spaces are permitted) - [ ] **YYMMDDddd**: Datestamp at time of export (Year, Month, Day, Weekday) - If multiple export attempts occur, add an alpha-character (A, B, C, etc) to the end ### EXAMPLE FILENAME ``` 26-PRT-Our Oscar-Worthy Virtual Production-230601a.mov ``` ### PERMITTED CHARACTERS > [!Success] Separator Characters > The following separators are permitted in folder and file names: > - D-a-s-h-e-s > - S p a c e s > - U_n_d_e_r_s_c_o_r_e_s > [!Failure] Special Characters 👾 > Special characters are not permitted in file names, and may cause errors.

This helps to prevent cropping of text and title elements when your film is viewed on a variety of displays and projectors. Safe Areas can be displayed as an overlay in a variety of applications: - 'Grid' in *Avid Media Composer* - ‘Action / Title Safe Guides’ in *Adobe After Effects* - 'Safe Areas' in *DaVinci Resolve* > [!Warning] Title Safe Area of < 80% may result in Cropping on screen... 👾 > Graphic and Narrative Text Elements which lay beyond 80% Title-Safe Boundaries may be clipped / cropped during cinema projection as well as during screening on HDMI televisions and projectors. > [!Checklist]- Adobe After Effects - Action / Title Safe Guides > ![[AdobeAE-TitleActionSafe-TurnOn.png]] > [!Checklist]- DaVinci Resolve - Safe Areas > > - See [[BMDResolve - Safe Area Overlays]] to configure settings > > ![[BMDResolve 18 - Safe Area On.png]] > ## VERIFY STEREO SOUNDFIELD > [!Warning] Stereo Audio Handling of Mix files in DaVinci Resolve >Prior to your Stereo Mix Layback in DaVinci Resolve and before exporting, take care to ensure your Stereo Mix is configured as a Stereo Clip and located on a 2.0 Stereo Track within your DaVinci Resolve Timeline. >- [ ] [[BMDResolve - Stereo Mix Handling#CONFIGURING AUDIO TRACKS FOR STEREO MIX|Configure Audio Tracks for Stereo Mix]] > >- [ ] Check your audio meters to [[BMDResolve - Stereo Mix Handling#MONITORING STEREO SOUNDFIELDS|Verify a Stereo Soundfield]] 🔊🔊 > > > [!Danger] Dual-Mono Mixdowns 👾👾 > >- Mishandling of audio-clip and -track configurations may inadvertently downmix a Stereo audio file to Dual Mono. > >- Stereo score and sound design may be ‘folded down’ into a mono soundfield, as a result :( # DELIVERY SPECIFICATIONS ## Main Program Content Only - [ ] Please mark In & Out points on your timeline to trim out Colour Bars, Tone, Leader and Sync Pops / 2-Beeps during export, so they are not included in your delivered file. - [ ] Select corresponding range above timeline on Deliver Page ![[BMDResolve 18 - Delivery - ProRes 422 HQ Mezzanine]] # QR CODE Scan to access a mobile version of these specifications: ![[FMTV23-YR3 - Portfolio Delivery Specs QRL.png|150]]
