Printmaster
The final, composite (dialogue, music and sound effects recorded together) mix of a film that can be transferred directly to a track negative or a mag stripe print with no further changes in level or equalization.
If noise reduction is used on a printmaster, it most often matches that of the final print format, and thus can be transferred stretched to the mag stripe print or track negative.
In the case of a stereo optical film, the printmaster contains two tracks, Lt and Rt, that are transferred directly to an optical sound negative.
The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia acknowledges Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.
