Transition to HD Workflow clinic with Scott Wood

Transition to HD Workflow clinic with Scott Wood

Hi all,

The videos taken below were from Scott Wood’s presentation as part of our 2007 HD picture workflow tour. There is a tonne of great info in here about video resolutions, video satellite, codecs of choice, frame rate niggles and general HD nastiness – if you’re not feeling ready to tackle audio post for HD video, these videos could make a heck of a difference for you! All up, there’s about an hour and a half of footage below.

Elastic Dialogue

Hi all, Sorry for the hiatus between videos!

Before Pro Tools 8 takes over, I felt it would be good to look over the elastic audio features in 7.4 and how they apply in post production. I see a lot of facilities upgrading to 7.4 for bug fixes or increased stability but still many engineers aren’t adopting elastic audio features into their everyday workflows.

The video below is an introduction into the 7.4 Elastic audio feature set, specifically how to use warp markers to clean up sync on dialogue.

What are the “Custom Fader” modes?

What are the “Custom Fader” modes?

Sorry for the delay getting this recent video onto the site. Ive been travelling the last few weeks throughout Australia and NZ with Scott Wood of Digidesign in LA presenting clinics on HD picture workflow and the transition to file based workflows.


Introduction to Custom Faders from Brent Heber on Vimeo.

Last video I went into detail with Custom Fader “Plug in” mode and how to map your plugs onto the fader the way you like them. Due to a few client requests, this video goes back to the beginning and explains the other 3 Custom Fader Modes:
Custom Groups
Pro Tools Groups
Track type/Masters

Ive also started to upload an awful lot of material from last year’s Workflow tour with Scott, going into A LOT of detail about file based workflows and also looking at Field Recorder workflows. Having a fw technical difficulties currently, I suspect due to the durations, but hope to overcome that this week. Stay tuned!
