delivery specs

The director, producer and picture editor work closely with our staff and associate freelance sound editors to create the soundtrack you need for your project. The sound designer will preferably become involved from the very first pre-production meetings together with your production sound recordist and full creative team. This allows us to understand what the goals of the project are and supports the audio post production process.

Our studio operates on 48 kHz sampling rate, 16 or 24 bit depth, although sample rates up to 192 kHz can be processed as well

OMF / AAF:
Warnier Posta is capable of processing all your OMF's and AAF's. We use DigiTranslator to convert these formats. If you deliver your project in the OMF(2) format (meaning picture and sound on disk) we pick up where you left in the AVID.

EDL:
Although we don't get them very often anymore, Warnier Studio is still able to postconform your EDL. We prefer a CMX 3600 EDL format with slates and take numbers in the comment section. This enables us to see slate & take numbers in the audio regions in Pro Tools.

Music:
We work closely together with the music composers involved in your project. The composer delivers the tracks preferably in stems in a ProTools session with correct timecode. This allows for flexibility in the mixing process. Besides composed tracks, we have a large stock music library at our disposal.

Leaders and pip's:
Warnier Posta prefers having leaders before every project with a one frame pip 48 frames before the first frame of your project.
