It is not essential to have use a LUT if you are going out to film. There are many factors, including source material ( is it log for example ) but you can quite successfully provide a lab with a 709 colour space file or tape and they will be able to print it to film. They will of course be applying a LUT for their own process which includes the film stock, chemical bath etc etc. Of course what you see on your 709 monitor will not necessarily be what you see on film but 709 colour space is not far off. Now if your source material not in HD colour space -RED, Alexa, Film scan, Vyper etc then you will lose information going to 709 that you will not be able to recover when going back to film.

The one time I experienced this it was a corrupt audio file. We used a file transfer service to receive the final mix from the audio studio, and somewhere ( upload-download etc ) something went wrong. New file, all good.

Check out https://www.getphonetic.com. It is the same technology that Avid licenses for script sync and it will be made available by av3software soon for FCP.

I’ve been completely trouble free since upgrading. I did a FCS removal first, not a complete system wipe, then installed FCS 3

Do you know if this works with a Kona 2. So the audio waveforms fall within video frames when viewed on the timeline? The one frame off set I understand, dobly E requires one frame to decompress so it must be one frame ahead of the video frame.

Thanks again for you comments.

So going through SDI you are able to capture the Dolby E data and then send it back out? In your other scenario – where you remix the music – you require a Dolby E encoder. I assume there is a setting required on the deck ( F500 for example) for it to receive the SDI audio streams as data or is this automatic. Thanks for the replies.

To follow up on my previous post. We do this in FCP but settings need to be 486 to include line 21 in the active video…

We’ve done this using full raster (720×486) without issue. The MXO2 also has a solution for HD closed captioning in case you need this in the future.

That’s interesting, like to see what they come up with. Still would like to have the ability to insert CC into HD myself. All current solutions are too expensive so we always send it out. Wouldn’t mind being able to charge for that service…
