Assistant on First Feature Film
Hello all. I have a few quick questions and was hoping i could get some help in the right direction. First off i am a video guy, i have limited if any experience in film so be gentle. I am just starting my first feature as an assitant editor and am at the liberty to setup the project for the editor. The film is being shot at 35mm 3-perf, we are getting dailies on DVCAM with timecode, Keycode, and audio TC. I am running an older avid, to be more exact i am running an avid meridian version 11 on an apple g4 with 1gig of ram and 1.3 TB of storage space on a mediadock lvd.
My questions are as follows. I setup the project as a 30i project with the film matchback box checked at 35mm 3-perf. I am digitizing as follows, the telecine house sends me the DVCAM as well as the ALE, i run the ALE through the Avid log exchange program and it converts me out another ALE that AVID can read and i import that into a bin using Import shot log. I choose to create scenes and subclips, from the 5 choices i have on the shot log options. Once it creates all my scenes and subclips i select all the clips in the bin and do a batch digitize. Everything comes in correct and looks good.
How am i doing so far?
Am i missing anything?
Are their other settings i need to be concerned about that i am missing?My one big questions is that when i look at the sequence we have V1, A1, A2, TC, 24TC and for some reason the TC and 24TC are the same, is that correct?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you all and have a good day!

Is the sound from the DVCAM going to be used for final mix? I would be be working in either NTSC 24p or NTSC 23.976 depending on that answer. In all cases, you should have gotten a log file (ALE) from the telecine to import and batch capture.

michael,
No the audio from the DVCAM will not be used for the final mix. Is my project setup correct? And yes i received an ale from the telecine house and batch captured from te DVCAM with the current settings i have with no problems.
