We currently use Avid's MediaMatch system to provide keycode
tracking and negative matchback in post production. These
specifications are crucial to our conforming process. Please call at
(404) 876-6665 with questions or concerns. Thanks.

Process negative as instructed by production company and in the
order in which it was shot.
Assemble individual camera rolls onto transfer rolls no longer that
1200 feet. If possible, place material with common transfer rates on
the same roll. Put an academy leader at the head of each roll. Punch
or tab each transfer roll at the head and tail, logging the key
number for each punch/tab.

For the one-light transfers we are requesting Beta SP cassettes be
made. This set of cassettes should have timecode on audio subchannel
3.
Transfer each roll to a Beta SP cassette with continuous, ascending,
non-drop frame, SMPTE timecode on the address track (channel 3). Put
1/4" sync audio on ch.1 and ch.2. Do not place wild track onto MOS
picture.
Slate and label each cassette with transfer speed, camera and sound
roll numbers, and timecode hour numbers. Each transfer roll should
get its own unique timecode hour number (e.g. 01:00:00:00 at academy
start mark for transfer roll #1). Bars/tone should precede program
material on every cassette. When it is know in advance or
anticipated that there will be more than 23,000 feet of film to be
transferred, please upgrade timecode in 1/2 hour increments after
roll #23.
Make a continuous transfer of each entire roll (including leader,
tabs, and/or punches), ensuring that no film frames are repeated or
lost during transfer. DO NOT change transfer rates in the middle of
a roll. If the material on a single roll requires different (or
multiple) transfer rates, first transfer the entire roll at the
predominate rate. Then, retransfer the relevant sections to the tail
of the same cassette, punching the head and tail of each section,
bumping the timecode start(s) to a new value, and slating the new
transfer rate(s).
For sync audio please make a 48kHz R-DAT, 29.97 non-drop frame
during the syncing process that is first generation from the
production audio and has sub channel timecode that matches the
timecode on the synced Beta SP. Please xfer all wild track onto the
simul-dat.
