Printing Preroll/countoff Stremers and Punches when Bouncing to disk

[andybrick]

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if there is a way to bounce to a quicktime file from a DP files that includes film scoring events in the preroll before bar 1 = SMPTE 1.00.00.00 of the movie. I tried making the bounce region -1 to end but that didnt work and tried setting the countoff settings to include streamers and punches and whereas they playback correctly they dont render in a bounce.

I have made a video of the issue and uploaded it to youtube. You can find it here: https://youtu.be/DovKUdqinio

Thank you in advance for your help.

Kind regards,

Andy Brick

Good question and no solution I know of. MOTU team are brilliantly responsive, so would be worth putting in a request for this feature (minus SMPTE count-off), which should not be hard to implement.

Meanwhile, it's possible to get around this by:

(i) adding one or two empty bars (measures) at the start of the film music cue.
(ii) Alternatively, generating click tracks with DP's 2-bar count off also works, so long as the tempo is not too slow, in which case use (i) above.

Not sure, but if you need some info on adding negative bars to your project, you might be interested in skimming this topic:
