Digital Jungle Post Production

Important FCP Notice: We encourage using the KONA2 Video Codec for output to your final SD or HD tape format. Any other file format supported by FCP may result in extended render and session hours. If you are unsure about the format you are working with in FCP, please contact us for further information regarding file codecs and output standards. Please follow all guidelines to ensure that video and audio levels are correct and fall within deliverable standards upon output to tape. (Please refer to the delivery specifications provided by your distributor) Not following distributor’s guidelines may cause tapes to be rejected in QC. While we will make every effort to evaluate the integrity of client material, Digital Jungle will not be held technically responsible for final output of files that have not been captured and rendered in our facility. We strongly suggest using our color correction suites (DaVinci or Pablo) before delivering any masters for broadcast as part of quality control (QC).

HDV (Hi-Def DV) 1440x1080i 59.94

For Output using Quicktime file format:

HDV is a problematic file format to output because of the GOP File Structure System. GOP (Group of Pictures) is HDV’s compression method. Please export a Self Contained Quicktime (movie) – HDV file using the FCP HDV codec. Do not output a HDV FCP sequence - doing so will require Digital Jungle to rebuild the GOP File Structure - a time consuming process. If you are unsure about this process, we will create a SCQ (Self Contained Quicktime) file from your sequence. Creating a SCQ is the fastest way to output HDV material from FCP and avoid a long HDV conform process. The final output for the HDV file will be 1920x1080i 59.94. A progressive frame rate output is unavailable.

Hi-Def 1280x720p 59.94 or 1920x1080i 59.94

For Output using Quicktime file format:

All files should be rendered out using Kona2 720p/1080i 59.94 10bit or 8bit Uncompressed file codec. This will eliminate the need for us to render a file output. If you do not have this codec system, please download it from this site –www.aja.com. If you cannot obtain this codec system, render out the files with the NONE codec option selected, but understand this will require render time in the FCP sequence for output at Digital Jungle.

Hi-Def 1920x1080p 23.98

For Output using Quicktime file format:

All files should be rendered out using Kona2 1080p 23.98 10bit or 8bit Uncompressed file codec. This will eliminate to need for us to render a file output. If you do not have this codec system, please download it from this site –www.aja.com. . If you cannot obtain this codec system, render out the files with the NONE codec option selected, but understand this will require render time in the FCP sequence for output at Digital Jungle.
