There's one line I did about a million takes of ("yes, a million"), and none of them are in the final cut. So, either the segment it was a part of got dropped, or I really sucked.

Or both, obviously.

On the subject of VFX/film tutorials.

Teague. How do you go about dealing with incorporating shot footage that has audio you need to polish later in to a larger afx comp?

To use the example of what I'm working on atm that spurred this, I'm doing recreating the Twilight Zone intro and I'm going to be transitioning directly into our Rod Serling "Submitted for your approval" speech. So I have it all in one afx comp so that way I can do the transition directly. But I'm going to need to take the audio for the speech and clean it up later on, but I don't think exporting the audio out of afx from the edited version would be the best option. So how do I keep it lined up/line it up in the final edit with the clean audio?

Kinda like roto, surprisingly.

I dunno. I guess it depends on the tone you're going for. The adventurous music in that rough cut had a major (positive!) impact on the comedy. I really like this tune, though.

It's a little discordant and distracting, would something without vocalisation work better? Puts me in mind of the Seinfeld intro.

Yeah, I feel like it being all vocals is distracting, plus the tone isn't... what I was hopin' for. I have a bad case of temp love.

Honestly, if nobody objects, I vote putting the temp score back in and not tellin' anybody. :-P

I tried it with piano-only, and it's kind of a similar thing. It being one instrument (or a couple instruments) for so long gets really one-note and kind of irritating.

I'm cool with this music. I also liked the adventurous music, too but the mix was imbalanced in that cut and sometimes, the more bombastic elements of that score drowned out the dialogue.

Your footage wouldn't load or play, Jim. Check a couple of pages back when this restarted - asked you to re-upload.
