Are you done?

[Brandon Rice]

I finished our submission this morning. Who else has finished?

[wcs]

not quite done. I've got to clean up the third act, write down the music that's playing in my head, and beat the special effect in to submission. All in all, not too bad for 36 hours. I'm not stressed about it.

Congrads on finishing. I'm going to hit 'export to compressor' at midnight tommorrow.

[ZombieSquid]

I finished last night.

[Jeremy Ordan]

Working straight through tonight, one last shot, some ADR, and render... Wow... Gonna be a shitty night

[EditPhish]

We're done with the film itself... it's the submission requirements hanging us up :grin:

[krestofre]

Still mixing audio. It's going to be a night like Yankee's :)

Good luck man!

[Shaun Patrick]

finished last night...just working on the encoding

[GenJerDan]

Final render running right now...but I'm going to sleep. :)

[Matthew B. Moore]

finished last night...just working on the encoding
When you are done with the process, could you post the time it took. It might help us with our schedule in the morning.

Thanks

[BrianV]

Yeah, been finished for a couple days... but now it's a matter of muxing and all that stuff.

The joys of muxing.

[P!body]

Still working on the edit. No effects to do. Just squeezing the thing into the 6 min length. I'll be compressing tomorrow. I can't wait.

[Beat Takeshi]

Done, rendering for final output.

[Slice]

Almost done, still tweaking audio.

[bc5431]

What is muxing? Did I miss a step somewhere along the way? I really don't want to hit the deadline and ifnd out that my short isn't rendered correctly or some stupid thing like that so I can't enter. That would just totally suck.

[Slice]

I think he meant mixing.

[Jeremy Ordan]

OK, I think that the color correction is done. Our ADR is half assed as hell, but screw it, I've had enough. I'm going to bed. I'm going to render it out, check out how it sounds and looks, and then tomorrow play with the mix and tweak all the levels and make sure its good.

I'm beat.

What is muxing?

In telecommunications, multiplexing (also muxing or MUXing) is the combining of two or more information channels onto a common transmission medium using hardware called a multiplexer or (MUX). The reverse of this is known as inverse multiplexing, demultiplexing, or demuxing. George O. Squier (1863–1934) invented the principle in 1910 using a carrier frequency to combine multiple telephone signals on one telephone line.

In electrical communications, the two basic forms of multiplexing are time-division multiplexing (TDM) and frequency-division multiplexing (FDM). In optical communications, FDM is referred to as wavelength division multiplexing (WDM).

When encoding video, multiplexing often refers to the process of interleaving audio and video into one coherent stream. In digital television, DVB, ATSC, and ISDB can all multiplex several channels together. In digital radio, both the EUREKA 147 system of Digital audio broadcasting and the HD Radio and Digital Radio Mondiale systems of IBOC can multiplex channels. This is essentially required with DAB-type transmissions, but is entirely optional with IBOC systems.


Simply put: combining the video and audio files into a single file, instead of separate video and audio files.

[Slice]

Thanks for the info Blaine. I've never heard that term before.

[BrianV]

Yeah. Meant muxing.

Final Cut Studio 5 took out the simple method in versions 4 and 4.5 (HD) to make a muxed MPEG-2 video. So instead I have to create an MPEG2 and AC3 audio file using Compressor and then bring it into a third party program to combine them into one MPG file to send in.

I've encoded MPEG-2 plenty of times in the past, but have never had to mux them for a client... as you don't need to in order to burn a DVD (or, its done in the format/build process in DVD Studio Pro..........................wait a minute......)

Hmm

[BrianV]

Well, that Bitvice helper app muxed it, i believe.

just making for god damn (can I say that?) sure that its anamorphic 24p yadda yadda.

making reeeeeal sure

[lucidz]

no i'm not god damn done

:(

[Beat Takeshi]

Lucids, you should send it in anyways even if your not finished. Then at least you can finish up and be in the DVD with the final.

[Brandon Rice]

Sure thing!

[lucidz]

Oh I am, check my other post where I rant on and on. I'm finishing this bitch. It may be rough, the cg may suck but you mofos are gettin SOMETHIn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our film is borderline incoherent, lacking story, depth, and almost everything else that would be considered a film. Then again, it's done, it was done quickly, cheaply, and after I rebalance the mix I can walk away from it forever with no looking back.

[lucidz]

coherency was not an option on this film

i garuntee that every single one of you, when you watch the last frame of this movie will say

what the FUCK

[P!body]

I think I'm officially done.
Huh?
I thought there would be more jubilation.
I guess not.

[EditPhish]

:grin:

[wcs]

I'll be encoding early tommorrow. I've got a couple sound effects, a litte bit of edit smoothing, and score aligning before I'm done. Oh, and I've got to mix all the sound.

Not too bad, considering.
