Hello Friends,
these days I am working on techspecs and a postproduction workflow for a TV series. This will be a pilot episode and we want to get the things in order.
I am not that aware of Avid so here is my question and I really hope somebody could help me with this.
Once the Slog Footage is ingested in the Avid System, all the metadata are not available "on" the footage. (sorry, my english sucks :))
Example: if I shot Slog on an FS7, I use Sonys Catalyst Browse for the transcoding. The software can read my metadata. So if I shot in 1000 EI, it doesn`t look a stop over.
I can use this in a very good way and for me it`s the benefit of Sonys Cine EI Mode.
But if they ingest it into their Avid, the material is not interpreted the way it should be. Is there no way to fix that?
Because of budget, time, blabla, you know, they dont want to adjust every single clip before editing.
I dont want to force any future DP to shoot everything in 2000 EI to get a constant look for editing and I dont want it either. :)
Their postproduction supervisor told me that there is no way to transfer the metadata, make up gain, the rated Lut, into Avid. I dont want to believe that. :)
Isn`t there a way except shooting in Custom Mode?
Thank you so much guys, I hope you understand what my problem is.
Best regards,
Anton
