END OF SEMESTER SCREENING DELIVERY PROCESS - Intermediate Classes -Stereo Workflow

Hello (Instructor and Teaching Assistant,)

I see your end of semester class screening is scheduled (Day and Location.) Here are some wikis and instructions for delivery of student’s films for the screening. Our team will handle the preparation for the screening. 
 
Your student’s screening files need to be turned in by (Day and Time). You should choose to have your students turn their files in earlier so you have time to review this and assemble the playlist for us. This time is when we need the files to assemble your screening. Any films delivered later cannot be included.
 
Here's the procedure to follow:    

You must also BURN IN Closed Caption on the QuickTime.

Content Warnings - REQUIRED – NEW INFO FOR 2026

For the screening, you must indicate appropriate content descriptors for your film both in the program and as a bug in the top left corner of the frame at the beginning of your film. Please choose the appropriate Netflix content descriptors from the list below that pertains to your film.

How to deliver the files for screenings. 
Put screening files on temp_transfer - accessible by the "shares" icon on the dock of RTF Mac computers in the labs (CMB 4.114, CMB 4.120, CMA 4.138, CMA 4.142, CMA 4.144, CMA 4.150, CMA 4.152) using your EID and password.

Moody Labs Server Access – Class_Folders and Temp_Transfer - Macintosh
 
We’ll make special folders for files to be turned in on the Monday before the screenings because the temp_transfer server gets wiped Monday morning.   
    
Within temp_transfer, there will be an appropriate class folder TITLED BY THE "CLASS NAME - PROFESSOR NAME"  EX: RTF366K – Narrative Production — ProfessorBob 
    
You’ll also need to get us a program of the files that are screening so we know the screening order. We will need the screening order list when your student’s films are due. Please review the temp_transfer folder on the due date and time and follow up with your students if they are missing their delivery deadline.
 
Please let your students know that we are here to assist if they have any questions and or need assistance with exporting.
