Hey Guys and Gals! So I'm editing this feature and I keep getting "Video Engine was unable to stop." Error. I'm able to remedy it easily by closing the session and relaunching Pro Tools but it's damned annoying to do. It seems that it happens when I click into the timeline someplace, but my hand isn't perfectly steady, so I accidentally make a micro selection of a tiny tiny region. I went up AVID's support site found a few postings where others have been fuming about this issue not being addressed back even in PT11? I didn't want to waste my "1 per month" tech support ticket with AVID on an issue that is known and not yet fixed so I wanted to…

These look interesting. And the first displays a good attitude and approach (as you might expect from the guy making the tutorials). Largely about using Reaper along with Pro Tools. Anyone here watched some of these? Any thoughts? I learned about these here: ----- http://designingsound.org/2016/07/reaper-tutorial-series-an-interview-with-david-farmer/ Reaper Tutorial Series – An Interview with David Farmer [snip] DF: There were lots of great tutorials already online for Reaper, and they were incredibly helpful. However I couldn’t find any that directly helped a Pro Tools user trying Reaper for the first time. The information I needed was sp…

Studio timecode DAT decks in very good condition: Otari DTR90, Fostex D25. Record / insert / assemble, lots of other features. DA98 DTRS in almost good condition ... has trouble loading. Doremi V1 Hard Disk Video Recorder [SD] in good working condition. Unusual Sony PVW2800 with AFM mod: Uses BVW cards to record/play all 4 tracks. Head clogged. Random AES3 cables (Gepco/Neutrik). (I put these here rather than WTB/WTS forum, because I'm not selling. I'm giving away, since I'm moving my studio. The only hitch: you have to pick up in Boston. Before the end of July. Reply by forum mail or email. )

Hey does anyone know the legal issues with using iphone sounds on a feature? I have a fair amount of characters who are using iPhones in this film and I was hunting around for royalty free SFX to fill in the "text received", text sent, ring tone, picture snapshot sound, etc and was wondering about using apple's stock sounds straight from the phone? Are there legal issues with doing this? Thanks for any advice, John

There is a scene in Batman V Superman at Lois Lane's apartment bathroom. Noticed underneath dialogue there was taxi car horn noise. Was just checking to see if there was a discussion on that decision. Whoever made that choice really set the scene really well. You didn't have to say it was Metropolis, it sounded just like New York. Was there any back and forth about laying more noise under dialogue? Or was that one of many honks from on location where more noise needed to be added to match unavoidable set issues?

Hey all. I had a beautiful Gretch-Ken Industries sound booth, set up for a couple years, to work on a long term project. The booth is now broken down into it's 12 sections and in a storage facility in Brooklyn. I'd love to find a new place to set it up, but it is looking like selling it is my only option. Does anyone know of a reasonable place to post a sound booth for sale, other than CL? Have any of you had luck selling something like this on Ebay? The booth is 8x8 by 7.2 high, active ventilation, with two windows (one in the door) double insulated. Beautifully designed and easily transportable (fits in a cargo van) Please share your advice / …

Dear all, I need to sync video with audio WAV (scratch audio on channel 1 and LTC on channel 2). I have been advised on this forum to use da Vinci Resolve. It works, but unfortunately the audio files is trimmed to the exact duration of the video clip. This is not appropriate in our documentary setting where audio starts before and ends after video, providing very valuable material. Does anyone know how to circumvent this problem, ie to sync while keeping the full length audio, in Resolve (v12), or other tools?

Hey Guys. Hope you are all well. This is Tim here from Sonniss. I just dropped by to let you all know that we are running a special 'Secret Santa' this year and I am inviting you all to take part... Why is it special? Because none of you have to buy anything and everyone gets free gifts! Christmas has always been my favorite time of year. It’s something that I look forward to, something I enjoy. So I really wanted to do something different this year at Sonniss. I just wanted to give you all something as a sort of ‘thank you’ and to wish you all the best. I wouldn’t have been able to get Sonniss to where it is without many of you in this forum, s…

Anyone have luck with ADX Trax Pro by Audionamix for isolating dialog?I have some work coming up that requires extraction from a premixed source. Apparently the originals were written over with background music and lost forever. Brilliant, I know...I told them I'd see what I can do. Usually use some spectral editing for short stuff but this app looks promising for working with larger material.

Hello! Does annyone know of a plug in I can use with non-HD pro tools that does the same thing as the field recorder workflow function in HD? What about syncing recorder audio to an camera scratch track? Can I align audio with timecode in non-HD PT? Thanks:)

I'm not really sure if there is a way to fix this but that's why I'm posting here. So my audio is out of sync with my image because I was shooting with the sony fs-700 at 24p (lav mic going into the sony) and forgot to switch over my odyssey 7Q recorder to 24 so it stayed at 29.97. I transcoded the footage with the audio to 23.98 it's synced but the pitch is way off. An audio friend of mine used protools to try and normalize the pitch but it still sounds a little off. Anybody else have any ideas on how to fix it? Below is a link to dropbox to download the footage and audio if you would like to give it a shot. Any help is greatly appreciated! https://www.…

Hi. I was thinking about to have a surround system at home just for editing and small proyects. I would like to hear from you about a budget monitor system having enogh quality and accuracy in order to be confident working at home that way. I was wondering about yamaha (5,7 or 8 ) or those little jbl lsr 305 (or 308) whose everybody is talking so good, some adam or something like that... (Each system with its own sub) Never tried any of these, I have used genelec 8020 and they are great but they are in the very upper limit of my budget. I would appreciate your opinions and experiences. Thanks!

If one has a flattened quicktime file and wants to create a DVD with a 5.1 mix from it, using compressor or adobe media encoder. What does that flattened .mov file need to have audio wise? If it has 6 discrete channels, can I then take that, and create a 5.1 mix with one of the above programs? Or does the MOV file need to be 5.1 from the start?

My workflow as a video producer to finish audio is to round trip audio from premiere or FCPX to audition or logic or protools and from there send it to Isotope RX4. I'm fairly new to RX4 so I'm wondering: If I open an audio/video mpeg4 file directly into RX4 can I save it back INTO the mp4 AV file intact, or does it become only an audio file? Same question goes for Audition or protools? Right now I have a 1.5 hour video that needs audio leveling and some spectral repair. It seems faster to just do it all in RX4. I just don't understand what an audio editor does to the video portion of the file. It seems like I don't have all the same tools when using RX4 as a plugi…

for some reason, the editor says the track names weren't on the files from my S633. I imported them to PT10HD and see the names. Is it a setting in MC or perhaps a setting that needs to be done when importing?

I jumped in to help a small non profit with their documentary program that had audio problems. Mostly it needed to have the audio balanced between two on camera talents shot outdoors while demonstrating with small animals. Each talent was mic'd separately, but I received a stereo audio track where one was left channel and the other on the right. The project was done in Adobe Premiere which cannot change stereo to mono once edited into the timeline. There are a lot of edits, so recutting it was going to be huge. I tried a round trip to Adobe Audition and it appears the problem is the same there. I'm told Pro tools can handle this easily, but I don't have it or know it. …

I'm trying to understand what constitutes a 5.1 track being Dolby Digital? If one receives a 5.1 mix, is it autpmatically Dolby Digital or are there other aspects that determine if it is a 5.1 "DOLBY DIGITAL" track? Thanks

Hi Everyone, I am a Sound Editor at a post sound studio in Hollywood, and we are in the process of building a new space. I was put in charge of designing our foley pits, and I don't really have any experience with the design and construction of them. This is a legitimate foley stage, so please don't give me ideas for portable pits. We are going to have one small pit in our ADR room, and then a larger pit for our theater. I have a few questions about the construction of these foley pits for anyone who might know. 1) How deep do the pits need to be? 2) For surfaces like tile, wood, and carpet, do I need dig out the space and pour concrete to put the tile and carpet on…
