U2 3D

I was just reading some reviews of "U2 3D" and wondered what editing system it used, primarily because of the multi-cam and other features Avid's product has I thought it would be a good fit. Here's what I found...


Olivier Wicki, editor of the film "U2 3D", said, "We worked with live-action 3D content from 3ality Digital to create this film. Because we had footage shot at seven live shows and up to nine different cameras at each one, one of the challenges in editing this piece was to make it continuous. I was impressed by how fast the Avid systems moved through the timeline and how responsive the system was given the amount of data it was handling."

Interestingly, Modell found that there was no direct way to sync picture and sound recording together with a digital clock. “Front of house would have had to sync their whole show to our camera clock, and that was not going to happen,” he says. To solve the problem, a stereo FOH mix was recorded to both systems. Editor Olivier Wicki then imported that mix into his Avid editing system, which was then output as an OMF (Open Media File), which Adams and Glanville then imported into their Pro Tools session, visually aligning transients of the FOH mix with their own recording of that mix in the Pro Tools session.

Bummer they still have to use OMF with ProTools huh?
