DELIVERY SPECS

AUDIO DELIVERY

 â€‹

  • Start the export at 00:59:50:00 for 10 seconds of preroll. Picture starts at 1:00:00:00

  • Include head pop at 00:59:58:00 and tail pop 2 seconds after the last frame of picture

  • Organize your audio tracks:

    • VO

    • Dialogue A – Formal Interviews

    • Dialogue B – Informal Dialogue

    • PFX – Non dialogue sounds from production (ambience, vehicles, etc)

    • PIX – Sound FX added by the picture department

    • Music – Score

  • DO NOT cut lav and boom together on the same track. Different microphones always need to be on their own track in a consistent fashion.

  • Make sure to include both Boom and Lav in your audio delivery.

  • Include separate audio folders (if you have it) for the following:

    • Room tones

    • Wild Lines 

 

  • Our preferred export from Premiere is an AAF. Here are the options to choose:​

    • Breakout to Mono

    • 48khz Sample Rate

    • 24 Bit

    • Separate Audio

    • Wav Format

    • Trim Audio Files to 720 frames (30 Seconds)

​

  • Some considerations:

    • Disabled clips do not come across​

    • Nested sequences need to be un-nested

    • Best practice is to duplicate the project, unlink and remove video files, then export AAF

​

  • An OMF can also work but AAF is preferred.

    • Breakout to Mono

    • 48khz Sample Rate

    • 24 Bit

    • Separate Audio

    • Wav Format

    • Trim Audio Files to 720 frames (30 Seconds)​

​

Include a flattened EDL of just the video media with your delivery.
