Workflow with Virtual Katy™ • Start assembling sound sequences long before picture lock-off. • Trace material that was dropped, but subsequently returns to the cut. • A Two-Way Street: Sound can influence the cut rather than simply reinforcing it. • Spend your time creating the soundtrack, rather than keeping it in sync.
The Future • EDLs and Cut Lists inadequate documentation. • AAF and MXF offer the prospect of complete data interchange. • Up to manufacturers to make systems that enhance rather than complicated the creative process.
