Concepts

Domain reference for post-production. What things are, how they work, why they matter.

Why your AAF conform found the wrong take

Production sound recorders write rich metadata inside BWF chunks. When those chunks disagree with each other, or with reality, automated workflows break in ways you don't notice until the mix.

"It looks different on my monitor": a field guide

When two people see different colours from the same file, the answer is always in three places. Here's how to find it in thirty seconds.

Everything I wish someone had told me about timecode

Timecode is just a number on a clock. It's also the single most important number in post-production, and the source of some of the most expensive mistakes you can make.

WAV, BWF, AIFF, PCM: what's actually inside an audio file

PCM is the encoding. WAV and AIFF are containers. BWF is WAV with professional metadata. It's not complicated, but nobody draws it clearly.
