Audio recording
We currently have a license for the following frequencies when using radio microphones to capture audio:
- 606.500 MHz – 613.500 MHz
This license is registered to Lucy Robb, and permits any ³Ô¹Ïtv staff to use radio mics for audio recording anywhere within the United Kingdom.
Archiving
All files from a project should be labeled correctly and contained within one project folder.
These files should be in folders as follows:
- RAW footage
- Project files (Premiere Pro/ Avid/ Final Cut/ After Effects/ Adobe Audition)
- Music
- Final edit(s)
- Release form(s)
- Brief(s)
- Risk assessment
- Transcription/ subtitles
If any files you’ve used are stored separately from your project folder, please indicate where they are.
