Show openers and stings
An opener is a piece of timing before it is a piece of design. We agree the walk-in loop, the holding graphic, the countdown and the reveal with the producer first, then build the animation to those exact durations — so the file never has to be stretched on site.
Stings and bumpers are cut as a family: the same type, the same audio hit, a version for the main screen, a version for the side screens and a silent version for the stream. Each one is named by cue, so the playback operator fires "OPEN-01" rather than guessing at a file name.
