dual audio windows
Avid Cows,
I have a feature, digital, that I need to sync a dialogue track to and have the TC of that from the metadata be displayed either in the source window or in the picture itself. That is normal.
Second, I have an audio music track I need to sync to this in A2 and have that audio metadata be displayed also. So I will be able to see TC of the video, TC of Audio 1, and TC of Audio music PB. Is that possible? Also, if I subclip that, will both Audio TC channels be able to follow through all the edl info to be used in a final conform?
The editor will need to eventually burn in all 3 TC data for a final edit output to use to conform in a DI and audio post. Will this work?
My editor says only one audio channel can maintain TC through an edit. Then how do you follow audio playback in music projects?
Thanks, Film Joe

It’s possible to have multiple timecode displays, with each window displaying the timecode of a different track, using the timecode burn-in effect.
There are a couple of ways of displaying the timecodes while you’re actually editing, but it’s only really practical to have a couple of tracks displayed at a time, but as you rarely need to look at them when cutting I don’t find that a problem, so edit what you need to (switching the timecode display as necessary) then do the burn in of all the tracks you need to display when you’ve done editing.
Subclips are fine.
I’m not sure what your editor means with “only one audio channel can maintain TC through an edit”. It’s a bit too vague without the context.
Why do you need to conform from timecode? I usually pass the audio to a dubbing mixer as an omfi or an aaf with embedded media, as it’s much quicker to load up that way.

In tahe Timecode Window you can display as many TC sources as you like. I don’t know what the limit is, but it’s certainly more than 5.
Bring up the TC Window, ctrl-click on the window, and ‘add line’. Click on the line and change the source. -
Thanks. You confirmed my understanding and we have found how to show multiple TC windows. The editor needed the PB TC displayed to confirm his sync points musically. I’m not sure what his final output will be but your ideas were most helpful.
Thanks, Film Joe
