Possibly- the specific file formats we need to encode to to upload to iplayer are pretty standard, but the way we make these films is using a 3rd party editor (he's great by the way). Delivering finished films from his home edit suite to us is proving maddeningly unreliable- a combination of his home internet connection, a Mac that refuses to even see some removable drives and a DVD Rom burner we are deeply suspicious of means that roughly half the films fail at some stage of the workflow. In this instance an H.264 copy (far lower quality) was readable off a memory stick whereas the far nicer, and bigger, DV Pal 25 .mov file was U/S.
Given the time I would love to set up a nice smooth workflow to pipe these things from him to me, or in fact from any contributor to me, but it's well outside my technical comfort zone, and there's always something else pressing on my time. See, I've driveled on about this for 3 minutes already! a On Mon, Feb 1, 2010 at 1:20 PM, Mo McRoberts <[email protected]> wrote: > On Mon, Feb 1, 2010 at 12:57, Ant Miller <[email protected]> wrote: > > Better late than never I realise that I neglected to flag this short film > to > > the Backstage list.
