Re: What are people's experiences with Auto-Align-Post?
Copy that, Marti. I wish we had your budgets and subsequent plugin budget here. I've been getting by for 25 years without it, so a few more months isn't going to end my career.

Re: What are people's experiences with Auto-Align-Post?
Autoalign Post changed the way we edit and mix dialogs today.
It also saves time when trying to match EQ as there are no more coloration caused by the phasing issues.

Re: What are people's experiences with Auto-Align-Post?
I understand. It does allow one to get better quality Dialog, have to do less ADR recording and allows you to get a better, faster mix.For me it paid for itself after 1 episode of a TV mix. When clients compliment what better sounding the dialog is then it becomes very obvious of what I was missing. Start saving your money

Re: What are people's experiences with Auto-Align-Post?
Marti, how do you and fellow mixers EQ dialog on a session with Boom and Lav auto-aligned? Do you EQ the clips individually and then touch up the overall sound on the DX Master/Reassign bus? With auto-align and more and more multi-cam shoots I'm finding many of our sessions are boom and lav together.

I really dislike having to cut multiple mics in but this beats the pants off aligning manually.

Imo, the biggest change this plugin brought was not for DX editors. You still have to do most of the editing operations that require other tools. Previously, one would never spend hours trying to align clips perfectly, because there was a limit of how much you can achieve with standard tools - cut, move, phase invert. The real revolution is in the way we mix DX now - the freedom to add up sources without watching for phase cancellations is a completely new experience. |

When static doesn't work well, even though there is no movement, I go dynamic, and get amazing results. The other, is I get in such a hurry, I forget to hit analyze before render.

Re: What are people's experiences with Auto-Align-Post?
I've been using dynamic all the time.
What I have found useful is to have an autmomixed Lav track from the sound mixer - which cuts to the speaking actors Lav (if setup correctly). I use this as my phase reference as it has less movement than the boom. I can correct individual lines if required later, for head turns or scenes with much more movement and dialog overlaps.

I'm curious about what you're doing? You've got a mixed lav track and you say you're using it as a reference... for what? Are you doing it the other way round and aligning the boom to the lav? Or is it something else? Cheers, Pete |

Re: What are people's experiences with Auto-Align-Post?
Hi Pete! Hi everyone.
I just finished using it on a feature film and I'm very pleasantly impressed! I kept the settings to "create individual files" and "clip by clip" so it can preserve my edits as well as my clip gain automation. I had already gone through and done a full edit and pre-mix pass on all booms and all lavs, and exported a mono stem of each (mono boom, mono lav). Then I saw this thread. So, previously, during the sections where I wished I could use both, and hand-sunc my boom to match my lav, I was really frustrated with the varying delay, phasing, and phase cancellation. NOW, I use my (muted) lav print as my key input across the board so any boom clip I wanted to double up with my lav, I'd select, preview, render (in dynamic mode). It's honestly been really easy and helpful; haven't had a single issue yet. Well worth buying it, even though I was able to process my entire feature in about 30 minutes while in my trial. This helped so much with adding space and brightness to some muddled and lifeless lav tracks.
