Description
In this course, we’ll cover how to set up the Dolby Atmos Environment for producing your 7.1.4 Film. This includes the Dolby Atmos Renderer, the Authoring Environment, Creating Standard and Custom Beds, and defining your Objects with a See/Point/Do approach to how you approach your Immersive layout. I just won’t show you the path, I’ll explain WHY it helps you achieve your goals which I find is the best way to truly learn.
This Course is broken into (3) Three Lessons, the first walks you through the Dolby Atmos Environment setup, teaching universal Basics, applicable in almost any Dolby Atmos Production Environment.
The Second Lesson finds us really digging in, building on what we learned in the first lesson, we’ll set up a full scene, using a production-ready Dolby Atmos Template.
In our final Lesson, we will export our Dolby Atmos Mix for import into our NLE finishing platform (Davinci Resolve)
By the end, you as a filmmaker will have clarity of Dolby Atmos as a Useful Tool for your films and what it takes to max out your audio presentation and take your films to the next level.
Try to remain consistent with your work, follow the instructions, yet stay creative. In Lesson 2, I would recommend using your own scene in the template, instead of copying the one from the videos. It will help you to complete your first Dolby Atmos cinematic production successfully. Have Fun, enjoy, and let’s get it started!
