ABSTRACT
The decision to use a Mac or a PC hinges on hardware and software availability and the operator’s preexisting comfort level with a specific platform. The question of platform is becoming less important as computer technology becomes increasingly cross-platform. Animators and sound designers can successfully move content across platforms and applications using audio file formats such as the Broadcast Wave File (BWF) and transfer protocols such as Open Media Framework Interchange (OMFI) and the Advanced Authoring Format (AAF).
