Re: [Avid-L2] FCP 7 / Auto Duck Help

Lets hope it's not that first step where you have to admit there is a problem with the sequence.  That might require a 12 step EDL including a sequence sponsor.  One Edit At A Time!!!

[Avid-L2] FCP 7 / Auto Duck Help

I'm getting a music documentary to finish.  It's a pretty simple show
from a video standpoint.  Likely lots of audio tracks.  The editor is
working in FCP 7.0.3 on a Mac running OS 10.6.8.  The goal is to get her
project into Media Composer, then after I make any timing adjustments,
I'll export an AAF for the sound mixer.

I'm hoping to find a copy of the old Auto Duck plugin that will allow
her to export an audio and video AAF file for me.  I wasn't able to find
one online.  Thoughts?  Comments?  Helpful ideas? Easier ways to
accomplish this?  Many Thanks.  --J.B.

P.S. She doesn't have to deliver it to me for at least a month so, for
now, time isn't a problem.

Re: [Avid-L2] Netflix Open Content Link and download ?s

Thanks for the clarification.  I had looked up the conversion but I missed the exponential in the digits.  "1 bit/second is equal to 1.1920928955078E-7 MiB/s"  I didn't notice the 8E-7 Mib/s so I thought 1bit/second is equal to 1.19209... MiBs.  More googling and it seems 8E-7 would stand for base 8 to the -7th power.  Now I'm wondering why it wouldn't be base 2 as in 2E-7.  A byte is 8 bits and a word is two byte  I'm.  Mebibit, Mebibyte too many bits to deal with.. 

google:

Mebibit

See also Nibble Byte Orders of magnitude of data

The mebibit is a multiple of the bit, a unit of information, prefixed by the standards-based multiplier "mebi" (symbol Mi), a binary prefix meaning 2²⁰.^[1][2] The unit symbol of the mebibit is Mibit.

1 mebibit = 2²⁰ bits = 1048576bits = 1024 kibibits^[3]

This unit is most useful for measuring RAM and ROM chip capacity.

The mebibit is closely related to the megabit which equals 10⁶ bits = 1,000,000 bits.

Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, video game manufacturers sometimes reported the amount of internal cartridge read-only memory (ROM) on packaging in megabits, where 1 megabit equaled 128 kibibyte and 8 megabits were 1 mebibyte of ROM, containing game instructions and data.

Not totally sure I'm interpreting the exponential correctly as base 8 but I found this:

What is 10e6?

The number (mantissa) is always equal to or greater than one and less than 10, and the base is 10. For example, 2.34 x 10E6 or 2.34 x 10. 6. is equal to 2,340,000. The number following E (exponent) represents the power to which the base should be raised.

Google:
The main non-SI unit for computer data rate is the bit/second.
1 bit/second is equal to 1.1920928955078E-7 MiB/s, or 1.0E-6 Mbps.

11 MB/s (or MiB/s) is roughly close to 80 Mbps. So if you usually have 90 Mbps, and 80 of it is taken up by downloading these files, you'll only have around 10 or so left for anything else.

My Airport Extreme Spectrum Cable modem home network slows way down.  I understand it is pulling from the bandwidth but without it running I get normalish internet speeds of approx 90 Mbps down and 10 Mbps up.  With the terminal command running the speed test goes down to 20 Mbps or 14ish Mbps with upload around 6 Mbps.  I understand the terminal command is pulling network bandwidth but when I look in the terminal window I see the following repeated over and over for each tiff in the image sequence:

I see it says (11.0 MiB/s)  which is the mebibyte/second a bit more than a Mega Bit but why then has my speed test lost 70 Mbps when this seems to indicate it's pulling around 11 Mbps.  What causes such a drain on the download speed to the tune of around 70 Mbps?

Re: [Avid-L2] Netflix Open Content Link and download ?s

Seems like you got this to work with the UnArchiver, which is very good.  But if you encounter a zip archive that it cannot decompress, this article is very helpful.

I've used the method on several occasions and it's been a lifesaver.

Re: [Avid-L2] Netflix Open Content Link and download ?s

I've been able to run nPack after installing Python 3.X IIRC.  I'm just not understanding what all the &amps and other gibberish is.  Another show I looked at.  Probably the one below it in the list also had the similar gibberish stuff until the end files.  I'm wondering if that first line, not the directory list at the very top but the one with no modify and size data is some sort of a code vehicle that facilitates downloading.  It seems the &amp gibberish changes length at various points where a directory like text line comes up with ../ or something like that followed by a dotted line.  It's like all the files are separated into groups this way. 

You mentioned parsing.  I assume that's a way to collect various groups of the files.  Still not sure how that works in the scheme of things.  I would have thought I would be using the cp "copy" command and not sync but so far sync is working and the resulting tiff files don't include all the gibberish in the file name.

Re: [Avid-L2] Netflix Open Content Link and download ?s

I've noticed when certain ZIP files won't open on Mac, it's useful to try The Unarchiver. Also - Finder is notoriously bad at displaying folders with more than a certain number of files, so I usually ls them in Terminal to see.

When you look at that Bucket Listing, the first line is just the directory name. The rest you can parse if you ignore the ;amps - it's showing URLs? for some reason. It's bad HTML in that page - you can see it correct itself around 43000 or so. The files go "Meridian_UHD4k5994p_HDR_P3PQ_00000.tif" and so on until "Meridian_UHD4k5994p_HDR_P3PQ_43092.tif". So yeah - browsing the S3 and downloading in a browser is a bad idea. Although I bet a utility like DownThemAll might work.

Sounds like you got them though? I'm sure the AWS command line interface is the right thing. Did you ever have to install npack? I'm sure it's not far from that.

Mr. Terry pointed out to me Netflix has some sample test content. 

NETFLIX OPEN CONTENT

Some of it matches what I had for being onboarded for SDR IMF creation only the content now is HDR.  There is mention of AWS and how with large files, like tiff sequences it's best to use a command line utility they call CL1 or CL2.  I followed the links and installed CL2.  I was able to use their example to copy a single file.  A computer coder friend told me I could add <-r> as an option to make it a recursive cp or copy command.  I could not get that to work but ultimately I got a sync command to work with the following which is copying all the tiff files into the sparks folder.

aws s3 sync --no-sign-request s3://download.opencontent.netflix.com/Meridian/tiffs/  /Volumes/191203\ Irwin\ FiberNetix\ BU/200711\ Neflix\ Meridian\ UHD/Sparks  

I've downloaded the .zip files in the Meridian project but they won't expand on two different mac computer giving some error.

The actual tiff folder for the Meridian tiffs has three columns of modified, size and key.

The key column starts with a bunch of &amp text repeated over and over then the file name then more &amp repeated text.  The first line in the tiff folder has no modification date or size.  It's like it's some sort of code to guide how the rest of the files are structured.  The key column starts with long string of text and grows smaller along the way.  In the end the last of the tiffs just show the file name with an underline and if you click them they download a single file. 

I gave up on trying to copy the tiffs and used the sync command and modified one of the examples of the command line text.  That works and when the files appear in the destination folder they have normal names.  I don't know if the above command is pulling from the fold I look at in the directory tree.  I'm going to paste in the top of the tiff folder left side and far right side.  Then you can see all the &amp stuff and other codey text.  Can someone suggest how the top line is a guide to the rest.  Kinda like a csv file column headings or something. 

There is a lot of stuff that I'm sure is basic to those who work in the command line world but I'm hunting and pecking.

The good thing is the sync command can be terminated and picked back up.

[Avid-L2] Netflix Open Content Link and download ?s

Mr. Terry pointed out to me Netflix has some sample test content. 

NETFLIX OPEN CONTENT

Some of it matches what I had for being onboarded for SDR IMF creation only the content now is HDR.  There is mention of AWS and how with large files, like tiff sequences it's best to use a command line utility they call CL1 or CL2.  I followed the links and installed CL2.  I was able to use their example to copy a single file.  A computer coder friend told me I could add <-r> as an option to make it a recursive cp or copy command.  I could not get that to work but ultimately I got a sync command to work with the following which is copying all the tiff files into the sparks folder.

aws s3 sync --no-sign-request s3://download.opencontent.netflix.com/Meridian/tiffs/  /Volumes/191203\ Irwin\ FiberNetix\ BU/200711\ Neflix\ Meridian\ UHD/Sparks  

I've downloaded the .zip files in the Meridian project but they won't expand on two different mac computer giving some error.
