LTC and FCP

[Boyd Mccollum]

FCP 6 works with BWF. There shouldn’t be a problem, though there are some considerations if you are working with a 29.97 sequence. Page 325 of the manual talks about that.

And if that is not a reason to upgrade, my FCP aux TC reader can do it too, and convert it to QT ref with an embedded QT track.
Or are you talking about a ‘real’ LTC (funny beeps) track recorded in a multitrack BWF?
In that case, you definitly need my application as FCP cannot do anything with LTC on a sound track.
Download it from my site, the demo is free.
(i forgot if there is a limit on the BWF reading. If there is, contact me and i’ll remove it from the demo, as it serves not really any purpose now FCP supports it.)
Keep in mind it only works with multiple mono or stereo BWF files. If you have poly files, you first have to convert them.

But what amazes me, did you lock the audio recorder to the camera’s TC? Normally it’s the other way around, since most of the time the audio records way more than the video.
