Video Reference:

The reference picture must be in either Apple ProRes Proxy in a .mov container or DNxHD in a .mxf container.

These settings will generate approximately 5gb to 10gb per 10 minutes of footage.

The picture should be edited with the FFOA (First Frame of Action) on 01:00:00:00.

If delivering as separate reels, each new reel should start on the following hour.
Example: Reel 2 - 02:00:00:00; Reel 3 - 03:00:00:00

The video reference should have a Burnt-in Timecode matching the timeline timecode. (Make sure FFOA is on 01:00:00:00)

An academy leader or 2 pop at 00:59:58:00 (exactly 2 seconds before the first frame of the action ).

Mark any VFX shots as needed.
