Hey all
So, random one - I just tested a short reel of ads and trails plus the first part of a feature film ready for my first screening to family and friends on Friday in the home cinema (now that we can have them inside thanks to some covid restrictions being lifted in England).
Strange thing happened tonight, which has never happened before.
Firstly, ran the same set of ads and trailers the other day and no issues.
But tonight, ran the the ads and trails as I’ve now made up the feature film which is attached to it. Everything ran with perfect sound, then a join went through after a “no smoking” ident into a ident for “feature presentation” and suddenly the sound was distorted and “warbling” a bit. This then had a knock on effect to the sound start of the feature film which is attached to the end of this ident which continued with this distorted/warble sound.
There was a click when the join went through the projector (not like the normal join sound) which I wasn’t sure if that was causing it.
I reran the reel again, and it kept doing the same thing at the same point. Which I thought was weird. Bearing in mind earlier in the week it was fine!
Here is a link to a video - hopefully you can hear the weird sound on the Feature Presentation ident. The audio on the Orange (Dennis Hopper) and No Smoking is clear. Then the audio on Feature Presentation is not right.
So, it tried the following;
- reduced the skate slightly
- respliced the join between the “no smoking” ident and the “feature presentation” ident
I then ran the film again and this seemed to sort it, but it’s puzzled me as to why it’s suddenly happening - at the same point.
Could it literally have been a bad join that caused this?
anyone ever had this or have any other suggestions?
thanks in advance!
