EDL and 2 Perf 35mm

[Gary Adcock]

[Michael Nichols] “Can final cut pro export an EDL without incident here? “

Yes, as long as you understand that an EDL cannot read transitions, effects or multiple layers of video.

best to talk to the post house to get the correct EDL or XML output for their needs.

Regarding multiple layers of video, does that mean that each video clip needs to be in the same track, or just cannot be layered? If I have a clip in v2 and nothing in v1, is that ok, or should I just put everything in v1?

Also, am I okay with subclips and new master clips? I sync’d audio to the video and created new clips and edited using those.

Thanks gary!!

Most edls will crash if there is more than ONE video track, even if there is nothing in it.

“am I okay with subclips and new master clips?”

I do not EVER recommend ever using subclips for this type of workflow.

Too often people (asst editor are notorious for this) are lazy and they capture whole tapes that may have TC errors or multiple TC’s on one tape making the conform very very hard.

Well, I had my camera rolls telecine’d direct to disk, so there were no tapes to log each scene/take individually. Each lab flat is its own quicktime file.

then you should be Ok, providing the TK was done correctly.

I am pretty confident my lab did right by the direct to disk TK.

I was not trying to be difficult,
I have seen it go badly when one person assumes that everything is OK.

Happened to me just last week on an f23 shoot.

It’s cool. I was just saying I have faith in my lab! I just saw a demo of an F35. Thing of Beauty!

Yeah,
I got a private sneak peak in April from Jeff Cree, it should finally give the Genesis a kick in the butt.

That there are some absolutely amazing cameras on the market beyond RED. I have held for a over a year that the Arri D20/1 has by far the best live debayer of its image, it falls off like film does IMHO. While others like the Viper, f23, f35 and Phantom all take remarkable pictures
