Audio recording
We currently have a license for the following frequencies when using radio microphones to capture audio:
- 606.500 MHz – 613.500 MHz
This license is registered to Lucy Robb, and permits any University of Strathclyde staff to use radio mics for audio recording anywhere within the United Kingdom.
Archiving
All files from a project should be labeled correctly and contained within one project folder.
These files should be in folders as follows:
- RAW footage
- Project files (Premiere Pro/ Avid/ Final Cut/ After Effects/ Adobe Audition)
- Music
- Final edit(s)
- Release form(s)
- Brief(s)
- Risk assessment
- Transcription/ subtitles
If any files you’ve used are stored separately from your project folder, please indicate where they are.
