[Avid-L2] OT: Only in Hollywood or it could be anywhere in the world

 

So in the midst of all the multicamera Red fun I've been having this week they are out shooting another multicam Red show tonight.  At 9:30 PM I get a panic call on my cell and it's the folks on the stage and they are having a serious lighting issue that only cropped up at the beginning of the show.  They wanted my opinion if it could be fixed in post.  I conservatively said it sounds like VFX job to remove a shadow being cast on a stage backdrop and that it might be tedious but VFX folks can work magic.  The concern was whether  they needed to relight before shooting the second show.  As I'm not a VFX artist I wasn't entirely comfortable giving advice so I decided to call a friend who is a VFX supervisor for features and commercials etc...  While waiting to hear back from him I was sent a .mov from the set of the video village with all the monitors so I could see the shadow issue.  I forwarded this to my VFX friend after he called back and when
he got home to look at the clip he called and told me it was a very fixable problem and if they couldn't relight all was not lost.  I passed the information on to the production folks on set and now they can rest a little easier and I advised them to make sure to shoot slightly wider lock off shots of the clean stage without the performer there to give the VFX folks possible clean plates to work with.  It was nice to be able to help share information and get it from a few cell phones and internet connections.  These are really fast moving exciting times.  This is the first time I think I've been able to save it in post even before it's gotten to post. 

What's next?  Perhaps some remote controlled cameras at the venue with the director and camera operator(s) working from home all tied together on the Interwebs.

[Avid-L2] Has anyone had to on-line from an FCP-X project? I'm assuming people have done Premiere...

 

Any workflows for getting an FCP-X off-line into Avid? What about Premiere? Has anyone seen any white papers on either of these?

Re: [Avid-L2] Stuff I wish they'd fix

That's actually the way I've done it in the past. Create a new project for the on-line and open up ONLY the single bin with the final sequence in it. I have been writing a new Avid book and have interviewed a lot of off-line and on-line editors from top TV primetime TV shows and feature films and this is their methodology as well. Don't deal with the offline project at all - only a single bin with the final sequence.

Perhaps that has finally been fixed but since I bounce around on different versions it's one of the things I just check automatically when I open a project.

Most of my on-line for the last 10 years has come from my own off-line, or it's on projects where I'm so set in my ways, I guess that I figure "of course I'll have to set that as a setting."

[Avid-L2] Re: Stuff I wish they'd fix

 

I use clip names with suffixes to customize the color correction links for relational color correction. The problem with File based the clip naming conventions are too random for the addition of a suffix to work. Think of a traditional tape reel number name that populates the bin with the bin name, which is usually the tape name followed by .01, .02 etc... In online it's relatively easy to take the decompose bin and sort by tape and start time and scroll through in script mode and add the necessary suffixes before the .new 01, .new02 etc... to facilitate grouping certain shots with the same color correction need together. This falls apart in file based because of the less consistent naming conventions of the ama'd or imported clips. I hope for something like you have suggested but I'd just like to have the ability to base relational color correction on a comment field or some such thing that I could fill in with whatever I wanted to identify the shots color correction needs. Ideally there would be a clip name like file based metadata that incremented more like a tape based clip name did. Perhaps Folder name or Card name or Disk ID come to mind. I haven't been working on enough big scale file based show to know what would be the best choice but something like that seems easily doable.

Well how was the problem solved? Inquiring minds who haven't upgraded yet want to know what the issue is and how it was resolved. And I'm not talking about Round Tripping to Davinci!! ;-)

[Avid-L2] Re: Stuff I wish they'd fix

 

Actually there are some forms of source side color correction like features in Resolve. When I discovered the 1 frame skip problem last week in our Avid aaf to Resolve the actual source clips in the media pool were not skipping. The AE found the double clicking the clips in the timeline automatically loaded the clip in the source monitor with ins and outs, although the clips were 1 frame long it was easy to drag them to a track above the original V1 and trim off the extra frame. Once the clips were laid into V2 the clip automatically took on the color correction of the matching clip on V1. From what I've read this translates to all timelines in the project and there is a way to break the link if need be but I haven't gotten that far. I love the symphony relational color correction and I adopted techniques to exploit it but Resolve has some of these capabilities and the master timeline offers another time saving approach to get a fast basic grade. Still I'd like to just have this all in the Avid software because nothing beats one stop shopping for my reality, documentary work and really any work that I've done. File based has broken some of my tricks for naming clips according to color correction but hopefully in the future we will be able to base relational color correction on File based metadata that is similar to the traditional tape based clips named after the reel with a suffix starting at .01 and incrementing each subsequent clip from the same reel. There should be an easy way to do this in a file based workflow it's just a matter of finding out what part of the file metadata that could behave like the tape clip names did. Perhaps Disk ID plus a suffix. As I work more with file based stuff I'm hoping the patterns of metadata will become clearer to me.

[Avid-L2] Re: Stuff I wish they'd fix

 

I'd pay 5K just to avoid having to ever F with round tripping Avid to Resolve but at this point it's become personal and I'm like a pit bull and won't release. Of course just like any fighting dog I've got scars and eventually I hope I have the sense to just let it go. By then somebody will come up with a new codec just to F me one more time.

This is one of the reasons I just take bins from offline and put them into my online project that I create. This way if I want site settings to be consistent they will be. I usually check all the media creations settings anyways because traditionally Avid has had a habit of forgetting where they were set and changing them when you reopen the problem.

[Avid-L2] Hardware Underrun -- What Is This?

 


I keep getting this sudden pop of noise during playback, and then the following error message:

Exception: Legend Audio Communications error, Hardware Underrun

I'm on MC7, Macbook Pro, OS X (10.8.4), 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7. The Avid Mediafiles are on a Promise Pegasus R4 connected via Thunderbolt. I've got a Mojo connected through the Avid PCIe laptop adaptor. Media is all transcoded to DNxHD 115, and the sequences are simple, generally a single video track, everything rendered, and just a few audio channels, so it's not like I'm taxing the system.

Anyone else seeing this, and have any idea what the remedy may be?

Thanks,

Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Stuff I wish they'd fix

 

I'm not Terry but I'll toss in my 2 cents worth anyway.

Tagging clips might be an option in some kinds of work. In a lot of the
shows I CC, it would take a long time. Lately, I'm finishing a lot of
stuff that was shot on XDCam. The most common clip name I get is C0001.
C0002 is the next most common... That makes CC'ing by clip name a little
dangerous. I'd really like to be able to create logical arguments like
"clip name = C0002 AND Source Disk = xxx". I'd also love to have the
bucket buttons turn into thumbnails of the frame I was parked on when I
saved them. --J.B.

Terry, wouldn't it be advantageous to be able to "tag" shots in such a way
so that you could control which shots are CC-Linked together, beyond just
being associated by Source? Or is there a way to use Clip Name to do that?

What I'm imagining is that the User would use the Segment Tool to select
multiple shots in the Sequence, press a "Tag" button. A window would open
and then we'd assign a user-definable tag-term to them. The same tag-term
could be added at any time (from a tag list window) to other shots (if one
was missed, let's say), or could be removed (so it could be tweaked
individually without breaking *all* CC links).
