Design Conferencing (project doomrider, etc)

Post by danielwang » Sat Jul 26, 2003 1:15 am

Is it feasible to do a multi-author (studio) AMV?
Would such an idea increase the quality of an AMV, and how should one be done?

If you're teleAMVing, I've tried using ProjectLink/Intralink from PTC, but that's mainly for CAD. Will CVS work for non-code objects, or at least a similar system?

Split up your track into sections (or assign different tracks, depending on the nature of the audio) and let people at it. Find a way for them to get high-quality versions of their track to you. You then re-assemble all tracks into one.

You can use CVS for anything, but I haven't a clue why you'd do it for a multi-editor video project. Running a diff on a binary file is quite useless (especially with lossy-compressed video files, where the content can change quite dramatically with a small edit, and it is quite infeasible to store losslessly-compressed versions of test files), so you'd have to store the full data, and that pretty much nullifies any benefit of CVS. Storing EDLs wouldn't be much of a help either -- some editors generate large intermediate files that become part of those timelines, and it's not possible to upload those.

Additionally, not all programs store their edit decision lists as straight text.

Instead of trying to be fancy, do it the way everyone else does -- e-mail people and ask for status reports every now and then. It's worked for DDR1, DDR2, M:I-1, M:I-2, AniMix part 1, and I see no reason for it to not work in future.
