Post-Production Manual: Track Allocation Chart
Brief A track allocation is how the timeline should look at the Pix Lock stage and upon
delivering to the Online & Audio Post. Generate a track allocation chart for your editor who is cutting a BFTV project so that they know what the Pix Lock version should end up looking like. This helps with consistency between editors.
