Ordered! Coupon code CONFSHIP, in case anyone misses it like I did the first time!

Also: The first two weeks of principal had to be reshot as they recast Marty McFly!

Just finished watching the film at an MPSE event in Toronto with Scott in attendance…still a great looking and sounding film that engaged the audience entirely. Thanks to the MPSE and Vaughan International Film Festival for a great evening.

Understood, thanks. I don’t feel quite so archaic! Is your SM / Radium Scratch recorder directory a permanently referenced folder in one of your SM databases or, at the end of a film, do you take the time to tidy it up and re-folder the “keepers” elsewhere? My Radium record folder overfloweth!

Either way, do you simply rely on the default file naming out of Radium for those “temporary” sounds (which, I appreciate, can now be used more methodically with Radium UCS naming in 6.2)?

I struggle with quickly ending up with many auto-named SM REC files from Radium to later sort through.

Thx!

Do you allow newly recorded radium elements to show up in your SM database (as they do by default) and then spot them to your PT timeline from SM to continue working on them?

Or do you have a script of some type that sends the new sounds to PT from a Finder folder?

Tim, if I may, I have a question about your workflow unrelated to the 6.2 update.

At 01:05:15 in your video you mention something a practice that I also have: Using Radium to create “source material” that you then bring into PT to work with further.

I’m curious about your workflow in doing so.

Given that those machines can’t be upgraded by users (if I recall correctly), I would put as much RAM in as you can afford.

Also, in our labs, I used the old rule of keeping picture files on a separate bus/volume. We stored QuickTimes on the internal drive and PT sessions/media on external volumes.

Pro Tools? Once you add picture, it will start to strain.

In 20+ years of teaching, the greatest challenges I had with students using their own machines were traced back to the *other* things they will do with those machines. Conflicting software, installing Media Composer *and* ProTools, etc.

@larsenonfilm.bsky.social Hmph…Knicks! (…and Pacers! Hello? 2000 ECF calling…)

Congratulations, Frank. The track was wonderful, a perfect compliment to the entire film and one of my favourites of last year. Well done!

When I first read this, I saw “whiners” as “winners”. Both words make a true sentence. (At least recent history.)

Ahhhhhh yes…the Newsletters. Entirely sensible! Too much so for me, I guess. Thanks very much.
