110b. Domestic And International Masters

Step by Step Walkthrough

Prepare the Sequences in AVID

1. The initial sequence is identical as 100.Prep Final Masters except for the ident - the international and domestic masters have some extra information on them
2. Once the sequence is prepared, duplicate the sequence to create one HAA.{episode}.International.Master and one HAA.{episode}.Domestic.Master sequence
3. For each sequence, drag the relevant title: {domestic/international} Tx Ident to the source monitor and overwrite into the sequence over the original ident.
4. Update the idents with the CAT number, lock off date, duration and any other relevant information (Extended, International Teasers, etc) from the original ident
5. On the Domestic sequence ident, there should also be an indication of what has changed with relevant timecodes. This is commonly a music change.

3. The domestic master is labelled as a normal episode, except it has the newly printed "Domestic Master" label on the case
4. At this point, we have not received any international master stickers or barcodes, so we just hand write the labels as so:
