How to syncronize resolve and protools

[Kevin Cannon]

Hi Mirko,

Resolve lets you enable LTC timecode out from the Decklink 3D+ on channel 16 of the SDI, but you might need an SDI>Analog Audio Disembedder. Basically for use as you are describing, but I haven’t used it with a protools station, just with my iphone.

LTC also goes out on one of the analog outputs of Decklink.

Thanks for advices 🙂 I will post the results when all devices will be wired.

Hey Mike!

I’ve desperately been trying to solve this exact problem, getting LTC or MMC, or MTC out of resolve to trigger the playback and track with the timeline of Cubase or ProTools. And the exact opposite configuration getting Cubase or ProTools to output MMC or MTC (thats easy) to Resolve as LTC to follow the timeline of the audio project.

Have you found a solution for this yet?

Thanks much!

Workflow
This sounds like back in 1997

Syncing protools to chase a video deck

It’s basically the same thing

It’s your video interface and you timecode/midi interface

Now in my case I use a Motu and an old Opcode studio Xtc
As it will allow me to sync everything to blackburst/gen lock

And LTC and MMC
But again it’s locking an old system to the new system

Not the other way around

You don’t use Protools as a master it is always the slave to the resolve edit timeline
The locked picture
Trying to make resolve follow protools is well it’s really the same thing

But I only was able to do that with a locked protools session via an OMF file that came from an Avid Film Composer

So chase locking the protools to the video deck which is really what you are trying to do here

I have not done it but I will be following this thread to see your success . I too want to do this with protools but now it’s an mbox so I have to go through midi interface ….Motu

I would like to do an experiment to see if I can chase lock three systems all via black burst box and LTC

An old 9600 mac tower that is still churning
OS9 Protools Free
But through the Opcode studio Xtc box
I have two now . One as a backup. These are rare!

Hey Makin!

Thanks so much for getting back!! I actually stumbled on to a extremely obvious oversight of mine about this subject. I was waiting for a piece of software or hardware to make this solution for me but its so obvious….. now.

– Literally just drop LTC generated audio clip into any video editing software, this site generates up to a 90min clip
https://elteesee.pehrhovey.net or generate your own and record it somewhere.

– put it on a channel of its own and output to a submix that doesn’t route to speakers (obviously)

– use this tool: https://figure53.com/lockstep/ on the chase/slave computer

– set correct MTC input on DAW and WHAM!!!! super easy setup.

-Mult this submit out to as many computers or devices you need to chase the timeline!

Obviously it doesn’t let you mess with anything on the slave computers once they are externally synced. But OMG…. I have been trying to stupidly solve this issue for what feels like years. But probably just a really long week.

Thanks for your post that is a solid setup! But since I don’t actually need nonstop clock generated the audio file method will work perfectly for me!

SO PUMPED. I can now mix, color grade, edit, final mix, deliver all with out bouncing a single stem or exporting h264 ever again.

BOO YA
