Re: [RDD] Importing files from a Rivendell Dropbox

2014-11-23 Thread Geoff Barkman
Hi there I think the file importing from a dropbox is working well now. I increased the apache time out value from 300 to 3000 and some test imports have worked well. I presume 300 = 300 seconds = ten minutes and 3000 = 3000 seconds = 100 minutes and when you consider it only took about 10 to 15

Hi, I fought with this when I started. It seems logical to put a hard timed midnight in for a new log but all it achieves are the problems you're experiencing. What I do instead is put the hard times at the end of the log. For example: At 23:59:55 I have a hard timed macro in the aux

actually not, it's the button to disregard the segue marker on the beginning of the next event... semantics aside, I don't think a traditional cold start is going to be a good addition On Sun, 2014-11-23 at 15:22 -0500, Frederick Gleason wrote: PS, I am still lobbying for a cold start

I think the answer in this case is clear: pitch alteration belongs in the production room, not the air chain. I tend to agree with this too. Another option that I could point out - which essentially would be the same as doing the alteration in production only without the human element

Hi, Beware that if you are applying this to an existing library; there are cart lengths/average_lengths in the CARTS table and I'm pretty sure cut lengths in the CUT table. It would also throw off any segue/talk time/hook/cut start/end markers you had put in. Should be possible to script
