Every production requires a bespoke solution for editorial; whether they are located at home, in serviced offices, or in the production office, we need to take into consideration a number of variables such as internet speed and location, as well as the data management and security demands of the project. The fundamentals of our craft editing solutions are covered below. Contact our bookings team for pricing and additional information.

This is the basic process for creating a split track file for your mix. To simplify things it’s best to break it into three phases. This is to first add the timecode burn-in, second is to create the audio mixdown for all of the sound excluding the guide VO, then the same but for VO only then the third part is exporting the viewing file.

For our 2021 tote bag I decided to pay a little tribute to my family’s business which has been sold this year. Chaddy’s Charters is a tourism business based in Taranaki, New Zealand which takes people out to the local seal colony and has been running for over 30 years.

This article from IBC365 covers the effects of Covid-19 on the film and TV industry.

We are able to provide synchronous and asynchronous review during our finishing process. The asynchronous approach is preferred as it saves a lot of cost to production by having members of the team review and give feedback on their own time rather than having talent, suites and equipment tied up during the process. It also gives the most reliable viewing experience regardless of internet and network challenges that can inhibit live review. The synchronous option is a great way to quickly spot check changes or adjust elements live when a finer level of control and feedback is required. Our review options are covered below.

This is a basic guide on how to get your Avid Media Composer Project over to us for us to conform for final post.

The team at EditShare interviewed me recently and you can find links to both interviews here. They also wrote this story about how The Finish Line came to be which I’ve included below.

This is a basic workflow or tips for ingesting media via DaVinci Resolve to be used externally in applications like Avid Media Composer. The goal of these steps isn’t to be the perfect workflow for all productions as we customise a lot of this for specific cameras and workflows but hopefully this will help any productions looking to manage their own media to do it in a way that should make the conform process more simple for us when the time comes for final post. If you need to talk to us about a specific project so we can create a more refined template please get in-touch.
