  1. An email will be sent to you, me, our attendance secretary, and your parent/guardian email address you entered in the form.
  2. After reviewing the information in the email, your parent/guardian can reply all to give their permission.
  3. If you would prefer a paper copy of the form, I can print that and send it with you.

There is a chance that your headphones aren’t plugged in firmly or your system settings have the audio out of balance. More than likely though, you’re editing a project where we used a single mic to record audio into one of the two stereo channels.

This is exactly what is supposed to happen.

You correct this in Final Cut Pro’s Inspector pane (Command-4) under the audio tab (see the speaker icon up top).

Select the clip(s) you want to correct (either in the Timeline or the Browser) and change the Audio Configuration to Dual Mono. Then, disable the silent channel. See below:

When a client completes our project request form, it automatically creates a new project in Basecamp. I’ll ensure the project is “all access,” which means you can join the project yourself.

When you join an All Access project, you’ll need to change yourself from “just following” to “on the project” to ensure you don’t miss any important notifications.

Here’s how to do it:

  1. from the Basecamp homepage, click “View all in a list” at the top of the project
  2. Click “join” on the project you want to join.
  3. Click “Set up people” and change your status to “on the project.”
