• Start assembling sound sequences long before picture lock-off.

Workflow with Virtual Katy™

• Trace material that was dropped, but subsequently returns to the cut.

• A Two-Way Street: Sound can influence the cut rather than simply reinforcing it.

• Spend your time creating the soundtrack, rather than keeping it in sync.

The Future

• EDLs and Cut Lists inadequate documentation.

• AAF and MXF offer the prospect of complete data interchange.

• Up to manufacturers to make systems that enhance rather than complicated the creative process.
