Editing non-drop frame footage in a drop frame sequence and show
I just had a video crew come back from Canada and the shooter used Non-Drop Frame timecode on all the tapes(He was new, we’ve never used him before). About 20 DVCPROHD tapes of interviews and B-Roll.
We have previous shot footage we’ll use that’s Drop-Frame.
The show will be edited and finished in Drop-Frame and it will be delivered to the network in Drop-Frame too.
Is there anything I need to worry about when combining all the non-drop and drop frame footage on a drop frame sequence? Do you think there will be any problems in the online process?
Thanks

naaa. You’ll simply tell it that reel is non drop when you give it a reel name in capture tool.

Drop frame and non-drop frame are really just ways to calculate time. For broadcast, everything should be drop frame, otherwise you may run late. As long as your timeline is what you want your final to be, the source footage is irrelevant.
