DAILIES PLATFORM IMPORT SPREADSHEET

Either PIX or Frame.io will most likely be used for dailies. Fox Entertainment Studios (FES) Post-Production team will negotiate pricing for the dailies platform prior to the start of principal photography. Please consult with your Post- Production Executive to determine what platform your project will be using.

The FES Post-Production Executive is responsible for onboarding users and maintaining permissions throughout the project. Post Producers should consult with their FES Post-Production Executive to determine show distribution for dailies and cuts. Studio and client distribution lists will be provided.

Please keep record of hard drives on the Hard Drive Inventory Form (INSERT LINK HERE TO A11.13) on BOX.

DAILIES WORKFLOW 

• Name dailies files as: SHOW INITIALS_SCENE_TAKE_CAMERA
• Transfer all takes for editorial proxy files
• FES Post-Production Executive will provide specs for the dailies that are being uploaded for review 

SENSITIVE MATERIAL IN DAILIES 

Any sensitive material involving nudity or sexual content must be separated out. Distribution will be extremely limited. After the project has been fully delivered and passed QC, all sensitive material that was not used in the final cut must be destroyed. This includes material on Producers dailies platform and dailies LTOs (if applicable).

SENSITIVE DAILIES DISTRIBUTION LIST:

Please use the “Distro – Sensitive Material” group that will be created for this material.

DAILIES PROBLEMS 

If an issue is discovered during dailies transfer, please notify your Line Producer and your FES Post Executive immediately. These problems can include (but are not limited to) corrupt files, missing media, sync issues, production sound issues, and exposure problems.

Your Assistant Editor should do a daily verification to ensure that all takes are accounted for in editorial. This verification plus confirmation from your dailies facility stating “archiving is complete” is required before Production can wipe camera cards. Good communication between the Post Producer, Assistant Editor, and Camera Department is key!

DAILIES ARCHIVING 

FES requires dailies archiving. Please see here  (INSERT LINK HERE TO A11.18) for specific details and share this information with your dailies vendor at the start of production.
