Are you done?

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

The joys of muxing.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.

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.
 
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
