Hello,
I've read a number of threads going back a few years explaining the process for prepping a Nuendo session for Pro Tools via SSL Pro Convert, but I'm having a hard time making this happen. It's been a while since I last posted on the forum, so long that I had to re-register. All of my time is spent on location working on set for TV & Film either mixing, booming, or cabling, so my Nuendo chops have severely dwindled over the years; please bear with me.
I just ran a session last night on set of a film that called for a separate Pro Tools music recording alongside the dialogue recording of the 1st unit sound mixer. We had a group of singers and dancers performing live during a scene containing dialogue. I ran Nuendo 4 on my MacBook Pro via a Yamaha 01V96 v2 with mLan. I Striped the 1st unit mixer's SMPTE Timecode into Nuendo via midi timecode for post sync purposes and all went well; Nuendo Lock synced and each take jumped to proper timecode along the timeline when recorded.
I Edit-renamed all the files by Scene, Take, etc., in the project window (not the Pool). I now have to (According to a thread written by Steve Tushar) :
1. Prepare archive
2. Convert all files to the same bitrate
3. Convert all files to WAV or BWAV
4. Edit-Rename all files in the pool using "Remove ALL-non alpha numeric chars."
5. Consolidate any cluster of events that have many clips with different clip volumes joined by X-fades
I'm having trouble performing the steps on the above list. If anyone can guide me through it would be appreciated. From there I guess it's a straight forward process in Pro Convert.
I try to make time to work on my Nuendo system to keep up to speed, but it's difficult. Having this forum is a treasure for the very few opportunities I have running Nuendo. Thank you in advance,
E. Santiago
