Reverse telecine EDL before online?
Hey all,
So we’re onlining a film to HDCAM that was shot on 35mm film, HDCAM masters and was edited in FCP at 29.97 from DVCAM tapes (I didn’t set it up this way, I was the re-editor and this was how everything was already setup – I had another post about this a week back, thanks for the input, I need to figure out this one last detail though). The plan is to take the media offline in FCP and then recapture the footage at DVCPRO HD 1080 23.98 from the HDCAM masters (we plan to let the Black Magic card convert from the incoming uncompressed HD signal from the HDCAM deck to DVCPRO HD 23.98 on the fly). Then print back to tape from a DVCPRO HD timeline with all the audio stems from the audio mixing session that’s already been done. Someone on this board said I’d need to export an EDL from FCP and then reverse telecine it in CT (because the film was edited at 29.97 DVCAM and the masters are 23.98 HDCAM) and then reimport this back into FCP to reconnect the media from the tapes. How do I reverse telecine an EDL in CT? I tried doing this but couldn’t ever find a function to make this happen.
System Details:
G5 Dual Core 2.3 PCIe slots
4 gigs of ram
SATA 1 TB drive for the onlining of the film
Blackmagic Decklink HD Extreme cardDISCLAIMER: I know this is not an ideal situation, it’s not my choice of path and I’ve recommended going to a post house, this is their only option and I’m trying to help them out the best I can at this point.

In Cinema Tools, under File>Export>Converted EDL>…
Better to capture to ProRes than DVCProHD.

Bah, thanks Dino – I’m always of the mindset import first then export since nothing was loaded but it lets you do it stand alone, very cool. I would go prores but I’m on a G5 and need an intel mac to do Prores capturing on the fly.
When I import this into FCP, do I choose the codec that I plan to online the film at and then reconnect by capturing the tapes from this point? Thanks again…
