Well since people were commenting on so many emails being written by one
person, Ill toss out one by me, even if it is a bit of a plug:) I
apologize in advance if this is against the policy for the list, but I
couldn't find where that gets spelled out anywhere. Of course now that I
have said that someone is likely to point out the blatantly obvious link I
missed:)
Tube is an open movie project being made with open source tools primarily
(Not sure on the music, but the SFX definitely though I will likely be
using LinuxDSP etc. plugins). It has just a few more days left in it's
funding drive, and while we hit the bare minimum goal, we are trying to
reach $50k all together. The goal is to release the video with all sources
so that anyone can use them, and for my part this includes releasing the
SFX sessions and source files, I will be recording all of them for this
project for this purpose. If anyone is interested you can find out more
info at the Kickstarter page or help fund it possibly.
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1331941187/the-tube-open-movie
I also am attaching a copy of the message I sent to Ardour-User close to a
month back explaining my own involvement and the plan for using Linux Audio
programs to do the SFX design. Since then I have gotten the test version
of A3 compiling and running on my machine, and it is likely I will do the
final SFX design and possibly final mix in it as well, but Mixbus is being
used for the initial draft for animators to use for inspiration before I
re-record all the sounds.
Thanks for the noise...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whenever an open movie gets made by the Blender institute, there seems to
always pop up a discussion in various places that deal with Linux Audio the
same question. "Why wasn't Ardour/etc. used to make this instead of
Logic?". While I won't go into the answers here, other than to say I agree
with Jan's thought process on this, I will say that there is an open movie
being made that is incorporating Ardour and Mixbus into it.
Tube is an open movie being made by a crew of people, many of whom are also
part of the Blender community, and Bassam was the director for the very
first open movie released by the Blender Institute, "Elephant's Dream".
While this open movie does not have anything directly to do with the
Blender Institute, I can say that it is being made with Ardour and Mixbus
for SFX design, taking another step into the realm of openness.
I can say this because I am working on the SFX for Tube in those programs
myself. The goal is to replace all of the current sounds with sounds I
record myself so that we can release all the sounds openly, and the
sessions as well, but for the moment I am using a mix of my own recordings
and library sounds as I am very short for time to go out and do field
recordings. None the less, we are attempting to finish up this movie this
year and have started fundraising for it if you want to help out and
participate. You can find more info on the kickstarter page...

PS. Yes the audio for the video was edited and mixed in Mixbus on Linux
with a variety of software plugins including restoration VSTs (WaveARTS)
via Festige, LinuxDSP plugins, and a few others. Again credit to Robin for
the excellent Jadeo software, even if it seems to want to turn everyone in
the video into Smurfs while I am viewing in it, but I suspect that is more
due to a very out of date version.

Hi Seablade,
Please file a bug-report. There have been an issue WRT to correcting the
aspect-ratio (Pixel-Aspect, Display-Aspect).
Attach the output of `ffprobe video-file` if possible and `xjadeo -V`
(or `/Applications/Jadeo.app/Contents/MacOS/Jadeo -V` or `\xjadeo.exe -V`)
I don't think this has been fixed on the non-x11 jadeo (OSX) version.
The binary still ships with a rather old version of ffmpeg/libav.
best,

For the record, the version I am using is both on Linux/X11 and VERY out of
date currently, so I don't feel comfortable filing a bug report till I get
around to compiling a new version, sorry Robin. But I will try to do so
sooner rather than later to confirm.

No need to compile it yourself: There's a dmg for OSX and an installer
for win32 on xjadeo.sf.net. It's available in most major GNU/Linux
distros these days.
PAR and DAR correction is one of those things that kept breaking in
xjadeo with select libav/ffmpeg version updates.
I've just pushed out xjadeo-0.6.4. Pre-scaling is now done in the
display-code (instead of using libav/libswscale). That hopefully
resolves this issue from now on and - on top of that - uses hardware
acceleration for doing the scaling.
For older versions: a safe way is to transcode the video into a format
with PAR 1:1 before starting to work with. qjadeo's File->Import does
that using mencoder.
best,
robin
PS. Blender can sync to jack-transport, too. But you don't want to have
Blender render the video at the same time while you're working on the
soundtrack. I have no idea how efficient it is WRT to playing
pre-rendered video, but I suppose it's generally less convenient for
sound-design setups.

Trust me, there is a need here:) I am on a slightly odd distro of Linux at
the moment and what I have is the most up to date I can get at the moment
through repos.

Hmm didn't even realise you added that feature, good to know.

Yes Blender can, and I could do that with a second machine, or heck with
this machine maybe on the same machine easily enough. But when all that is
wrong is the coloring, it is much easier to use the video and your

Blender would be extreme overkill for synching audio and video for SFX
or music. xjadeo/qjadeo is a such a nice dedicated little app true to
the Unix philosophy of "do one thing and do it well" and is
indispensible in my own workflow.

Yes but it can be useful if you are working on animations that are fast

Who hasn't actually tested the above yet for various reasons

Some pro composers like Danny Elfman and Hans Zimmer compose that way,
improvise on a keyboard to a video until they find something they

i have a friend who has done a bit of film scoring and quite a lot of TV
incidental stuff. he can regularly churn out "40 seconds of parisian street

I admit to be being pretty old school... watch and analyze the video
clip, work out timings, create a spreadsheet for the cues, and then
set the timing marks into the DAW and start composing against the
timings. It works well if you need 'hits' against certain actions
onscreen (especially for animation, which is mostly what I do), but
can be mechanical if you are too strict with the timings or have too
many hits.
John Williams is even older school... he sits at a piano with pencil
and paper and composes just using the timing sheet.
And then there was Carl Stalling, who wouldn't even wait for the final
edits of the cartoons he wrote for. He'd just compose against the
x-sheets the animators used, the timings worked out by the director
were so precise and detailed.

This is exactly what I am doing for SFX design for tube in phase 1
actually. When I started about 3/4 of the shots there wasn't any animation
for, just storyboards. Now that is significantly down, but I am often
still laying in sounds with just basic timings and ideas of animations at
best.
Not quite the same as composing, but in some ways not to different either.

It's similar in many ways (I've done some SFX work, too), except
almost everything has to hit. The hardest thing I had to do was an

There are limits to how precise you have to be when dealing with multiple
objects however. Walter Murch's article "Clear Density, Dense Clarity" is
required reading for my students on this topic and highly recommended.

final SFX design and possibly final mix in it as well, but Mixbus is being
used for the initial draft for animators to use for inspiration before I
re-record all the sounds.
Thanks for the noise...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whenever an open movie gets made by the Blender institute, there seems to
always pop up a discussion in various places that deal with Linux Audio the
same question. "Why wasn't Ardour/etc. used to make this instead of
Logic?". While I won't go into the answers here, other than to say I agree
with Jan's thought process on this, I will say that there is an open movie
being made that is incorporating Ardour and Mixbus into it.
Tube is an open movie being made by a crew of people, many of whom are also
part of the Blender community, and Bassam was the director for the very
first open movie released by the Blender Institute, "Elephant's Dream".
While this open movie does not have anything directly to do with the
Blender Institute, I can say that it is being made with Ardour and Mixbus
for SFX design, taking another step into the realm of openness.
I can say this because I am working on the SFX for Tube in those programs
myself. The goal is to replace all of the current sounds with sounds I
record myself so that we can release all the sounds openly, and the
sessions as well, but for the moment I am using a mix of my own recordings
and library sounds as I am very short for time to go out and do field
recordings. None the less, we are attempting to finish up this movie this
year and have started fundraising for it if you want to help out and
participate. You can find more info on the kickstarter page...

PS. Yes the audio for the video was edited and mixed in Mixbus on Linux
with a variety of software plugins including restoration VSTs (WaveARTS)
via Festige, LinuxDSP plugins, and a few others. Again credit to Robin for
the excellent Jadeo software, even if it seems to want to turn everyone in
the video into Smurfs while I am viewing in it, but I suspect that is more
due to a very out of date version.

While it is true we reached the minimum goal, we are actually trying to
reach much higher than we currently are with 44 hours to go(We were really
hoping to hit $50k at least)

Reached her goal ($100K) on the 1st or 2nd day.
No Linux involved, though, as far as I know.

There are tons of examples that could be given, Order of the Stick's
reprint drive for instance, a fair amount of games recently, etc.

Only one I've support so far.

Promises to be Class Compliant (and hear other Keith McMillan stuff works on Linux fine)
but yet to hear mine has even been shipped, let alone get my hands on it! But they did get
10x what they were aiming for/expected... (Still small compared to some others though.)
Do keep on thinking I should keep a closer eye on the site in general but so far have
relied on my attention being brought to things I might find interesting.
