organising audio for OMF
Hi there,
I’ve just edited my first 2 minute web commercial and I need to export an OMF. I understand how to do this, however I am unsure of how to organise my audio files for the sound designer.
On each tower of recorded audio I have ‘channel 1’, ‘channel 2’ directly below it and ‘channel 3’ directly below 2. On another scene I have a linked tower of 5 audio channels, so each shot differs. Under the recorded audio I have .aiff sound effects files which I’ve organised on a4 and a5.
Is it wise to put C1 on A1, C2 on A2 ect? I’ve been told to organise boom mics and lav mics all together but I’m unsure on which track belongs to what mic.
Thanks,
Kelly

Keep different Microphones on separate tracks. Also separate voices on separate tracks. The boom is the one with a more crisp sound.
Rename tracks to help sound designer.You can put sound effects on same timeline, as long as they don’t overlap.

Great, thanks this is really helpful!
Just one question. When you say don’t overlap SFX, I have a few shots which have classroom noises on a7, and then crying underneath that on a8. Is this okay?

yeah, just don’t overlap (cross-fade) on the same track
