hey everyone,

Wanting some tips on audio handover to video departments.

This is my situation:

I delivered TVC here in New Zealand last week. My audio went to the video department who then sent it off to AdStream to get it QC'd. When I sent my audio over I double checked it and made sure it was within the OP.59 specifics of -24LKFS -2TP +-1db LKFS threshold.

I received an email this morning from AdStream citing my audio was -22.7LKFS. So I emailed the video department and got them to send through the deliverable they sent to AdStream to be QC'd - and sure enough it was -22.79LKFS. Somewhere in between handing my audio over to the video department, and video department sending it off to AdStream it got louder.

How do I avoid this, and what is best practise for making sure no one touches your audio after you hand it over? Also, could this problem stem from a video export option, or codec?

Looking for tips and advice.
