How to deliver files

Posted in News in September 2011

Media

At the moment we can't use files submitted on BluRay discs. Please use standard media instead (USB sticks, DVD/DVD-R/DVD+R or external hard drives are all OK). Please only submit disks formatted as FAT32 (not NTFS or HFS+), especially when sending big amounts of data (like film footage). Disks in NTFS or HFS+ slow down data handling considerably.

Tapes

We can handle HDCAM, HDCAM SR, Digibetas, XDCAM and RED R3D files just fine.

Logos and titles

Minimum resolution of 1920 x 1080 square pixels, keep titles within title safety (you can find the safety chart attached).

Graphics

.eps/.ai (with outlined type in separate files), .psd (Photoshop) in layers or separate files with rasterized type, .tif/.tga /.sgi on black with alpha channels.

Photographic material (packshots, backgrounds)

.tif, .tga, .psd, .jpg at 2048x1535 pixels (3.2 megapixels) or approx. 5 megabytes per file.

Animation

.tif/.tga/.sgi sequences on black with alpha channel. If the animation is self contained (does not need to be placed above another image) the background can be anything.

Resolution: Depending on the project (please mail us).

Image sequences

.tif/.tga/.dpx sequences. If you are working with DPX sequences, please preserve the timecode information.

Resolution: Depending on the project (please mail us).

Audio

File based .aif/.wav at 48Khz and -23 LUFS via e-mail or ftp. MP3 suitable for offline editing.

EDL

We prefer CMX 3600 EDLs, one track per file.
