The advantage of using WAV files that it has native support with sub-frame jogging. To me, this is very basic Post 101, a very standard thing you do for any TV or film project. ![]() When we have to use any new music for a project, I bring it into Pro Tools and spit it back out with embedded timecode, or I take a WAV file and add timecode with Sound Devices WAV Agent (which is free). I have another 8TB of production music, same deal. The software inherently does use timecode.īTW, I have 12TB of sound effects in my library, all Broadcast WAV files, with embedded timecode. You're on a post-production forum discussing DaVinci Resolve. It's a music and SFX library I'm dealing with. Why not let the tech savvy ones among us create and share tools we could all use. We do this with tips and tricks every day here. ![]() There is a thread on this forum about the community wanting to translate Resolve into different languages, even for free! I strongly believe in the community and sharing. Maybe BMD could grace us with the gift of an I/O SDK so that the community can write what they need. I agree that maybe it's not up to BMD to maintain support for all of these formats/codecs and focus on Resolve itself. Some might stay a while, some might go quickly (Vorbis indeed). It's also very true that audio and video codecs come and go. Disk space might not matter to all, but it still does to some of us. But there are more efficient ways to store audio now than WAV and AIFF. My feature request is not one that has to be implemented right now, heck, maybe not even for FLAC. If we can save half of the disc space for our music and sfx library, we should! If there was a way to decrease our carbon footprint by half, we should! For the record, I'm not directly comparing carbon footprint to disk space usage. We need to go forward, not stand still at old habbits and ways of doing things. It makes my car run fast enough even though consumption and exhaustion rate is very high.". What if they stopped researching alternative energy sources in the car industry? We would've stopped at Gasoline and said: "OK, this is good enough. There are more urgent matters to address, I fully agree. Given the discussion rate in this topic proves there is disagreement on the subject. ![]() ![]() Sam Steti wrote:Even if FLAC is lossless and then provides quality for consumers, to me, asking for it in post almost sounds like asking for vorbis too : irrelevant and useless* Then ok, mp4 with H264 is the standard for industry, no need to encode in 10 formats now, at least for the web, VOD and BDs.Īnd this is the same : for personal use, no problem but for work, if something's ok, no need to add anything with no benefit at the end (a bit room on HDs).Įven if FLAC is lossless and then provides quality for consumers, to me, asking for it in post almost sounds like asking for vorbis too : irrelevant and useless*Ĭonsequently, I'd really like BMDs keeps on focusing efforts on really useful tools as they've been doing up to now. mp4 etc with vp8, h264, mpeg4 sp, theora, vp9. It somehow sounds like around the beginnings of the video on the web : you had dl files, streamed files, embedded files and stuff like. Morevover, even with amateur tools, FLAC can be transcoded so quickly that it's not a pain to batch some and waste a minute to be finished with them for the whole project. Standards WAV or AIFF are enough and I have no need to add some in this very field. Now, in post, I'm dealing with more serious projects, I cannot afford to reach a point where I might say "hell, why did I keep this format ?". Therefore for me in a iPod, my car or in a music library at home, yes of course, FLAC is ok (though in case of a lossless format, I prefer the WAV file which is twice only as big as FLAC). Please note then that my point of view has nothing to do with a particular preference or any personal worship : I just really distinguish what are my private personal life habits from the pro world of post I've been daily experiencing too for years and years. Whaooo, this thread's still alive ? I'm surprised, really.
