OB:Elections 2011

VT's

VT's must be edited on time this year. We will make special case arrangements, but these MUST be approved more than a week in advance by either Mike Cullen, Sam Nicholson, or Mike Chislett. The deadline is 2 days before Election night itself: If elections is on Saturday, then the deadline is Thursday, at 11:59:59pm. Or when we wake up on Friday. After this point in time, the VT drives will not be there for you to upload your work, and there may not be an edit machine for you to use either!!

When you edit your VT's, edit them locally, using the temp drives (not vidserv temp, steve!).

DO NOT ADD THE COPYRIGHT SWOOSHY OR ANY LOGO ON THE START OR END!

When you export, use the YSTV widescreen SD preset, and export it to this location on userdata:

Shows/2010Elections/finishedVTs/<nameofvt>

nameofvt will be your filename, like this example:

VT01_whathappenedlastyear

Then, copy it across to the V drive, so we can actually use it. Whatever happens, don't go making your own folders in the V drive, or the finishedvts folder. these are only for the final, clean copies. Please dont go making folders like "2010elections1bobsfolderdonttouch".

Sorry for that moan! but you'll see why on election night that we have these rules! It can get pretty fast and confusing on the night, and badly named vt's make the situation really really hard for the directors, VTops, and technical team. In a worst case scenario, it means presenters have to fill for the time of the VT!
