Frequently asked questions
-
Comparator What is Comparator and how does it work?
Comparator is an app that uses exported shot markers to compare and note new or omitted VFX shots from an edit.
-
RealSync What is RealSync and how does it work?
RealSync is our patented app which uses algorithms and code to breakdown a proper VFX change list based on EDL files of an edit.
-
RealSync Why does the report file say 1 Slates added for so many shots?
Staying consistent on the number of video tracks to export is an important part of creating proper EDLs for RealSync. If you have been exporting a certain number of tracks and on the following export, you output additional tracks with new submissions - RealSync will note those new shots as new slates added.
-
RealSync Why did some of the vfx shot changes not show up in the report?
Be sure to "Commit Multicam Edits" to the sequence that you are creating the EDL from. This will ensure that proper shot names are delineated in the EDL.
-
RealSync Why did a comp that is using the same clip for both plates (i.e. v1 and v2) show edit changes when there isn't one?
This occurs when two clips of the same take are used to create a split screen comp on two different video tracks. The EDL can vary the tracks per output. The app will read the in and out points of one clip and compare it to the second clip.
-
RealSync What does extended report based on rule 2 mean?
Extended report based on rule 2 was set up to catch anomalies in an edit. When an Editor places a new take on top of an old shot and extends the tail; extending the shot from the previous length, this exception will be noted.
