FINAL ARCHIVE

The below requirements pertain to studio archive and are in addition to any network delivery requirements.

FILE NAMING SPECIFICATIONS

For file naming of all deliveries, use the following structure that includes the below specifications:

(ShowNameWithoutSpaces)_(SeasonEpisode#)_(AssetType)_(FrameRate)_(AspectRatio)_(Bit Depth)_(WorkingColorSpace)_(yymmdd).(FrameNumber).(FileExtension)

Example: TheSimpsons_302_VAM_2398_179_12_Rec709_221017.005432.dpx

*Please note: not all specifications are applicable to every asset. For instance, non-episodic projects should remove the (SeasonEpisode#) specification. If an industry identifier with EIDR or IMDB is in use, please provide the ID.

Encompassing Folders should match the above naming convention, minus the .(FrameNumber).(FileExtension).

Example: TheSimpsons_302_VAM_2398_179_12_Rec709_221017

Character usage with naming conventions should only use single dashes and underscores and follow the below requirements:

• Periods may only be used to designate ProTools channel designators and file extension.
• Spaces, commas, em-dashes (“—”) and special characters (e.g. !, %, {, *, etc.) are prohibited.
