  Cinema tools and FCP workflow for film project

  Posted by Mabelv on January 6, 2006 at 2:41 am

  Hello:
  I am logging and capturing my Super 16mm short film
  that has been telecine (MOS audio) to an HD
  server at a local telecine house. I want to have the option of
  going back to
  film, however, a final HD master will be the final
  product that will be done at the facility.

  The telecine facility gave me DVCAM dubs at
  29.97-
  letterboxed. They don’t use flx files tough and was
  told that I have to manually enter this information in
  CT.
  What would be the workflow for this project without
  flx files? Is it ok not to have flx files if I ever
  want to go back to
  film?

  -Would I capture at 29.97 DV capture present first?
  ***The producer at the facility mentioned to capture
  clips according to camera rolls. There are 3 camera
  rolls total,( 2 tapes) each approximately 25-30.
  Whenever I try to capture these 3 clips I received a
  drop frame warning, then I notice that the TC in the
  window burns are different y 2 seconds in the viewer
  window.

  – How and when in the workflow do you manually enter
  the In point using the punch on the film? Is this done
  after
  digitizing? I thought that I would have to create a
  CT database and
  “manually” enter the information there. Is this
  correct?

  – Also, after successfully capture in FCP should I
  create a
  new database in CT and import clean clips and have the
  pulldown removal there?
  Should it be at 24 fps or 23.98 fps?

  At what point in the process do I sync the sound files
  to the MOS film? Do I need to re-import these clips to
  CT and replace the older non sunc clips. The sound was
  recorded at 30 fps while film was at 24fps. Do I just
  need to speed up the sound by 0.1% or make it at 99%
  speed?

  -How do I make sure I mantain a clean environment for
  a final conform in HD?
  – I assume that after all these is done I will create
  a sequence at 23.98 and edit then.

  In your experience, is there anything else that I
  need to consider while setting the FCP project,
  sequence and timeline? The goal is to edit in FCP and
  then go
  back to the telecine facility with the sequence and
  conform to HD
  and have the film color correction then. The final
  master will be in HD.

  Thanks in advance for your advice,
  Mabel Valdiviezo
