100b. Render Credits from PACMAN

Step by Step Walkthrough

Download the spreadsheet

1. HAA will email through the spreadsheet to your supplied @thaumaturgy.com.au email address.
2. Download the attached credit spreadsheet from the email & placing it in the "{Project01}/HAA/70.OtherElements/Credits/ToRender/" folder.

Submit the jobs to Deadline

1. Open Deadline, and select Submit / Nuke_SubmitHAACredits
2. Select the jobs in the Monitor and right click Scripts / PAC_StartPACMANJobs and select Selected Jobs
3. Start the slaves that you wish the job to perform on.
   Note: Not all slaves are capable of performing Credit Renders, check the Database for the list of slaves
4. Watch for the first job to begin rendering (it should turn green). These jobs give no visual identification of when they are rendering or complete, so you must observe them

Check the resulting files

1. On all files, check their file sizes - all credits of the same type (local or international) should be of an identical size.
2. Check the duration of all files. Every teaser should match the duration found in the Ref 10. Episode Structure document.
3. Open each file and scroll through the shot, searching for any formatting issues or obvious naming issues.

   One of the most common issues is when two lines of text appear over each other - watch out for this it can be tricky to spot.
