OMF and timecode

[Greg Curda]

Thanks, Roland.

Now I’ve just learned that there are 2 different OMFs available, embedded and linked. Could you explain this briefly? Would the difference have any bearing on this discussion?

Also, we are using RED cam. We thought of trying to embed the audio tracks in the ProRes QT that goes to Picture Editorial, letting the editor delete the tracks he doesn’t want, copying the FCP sequences as they are cut, having a sound asst. reconnect the remaining tracks in FCP according to Source TC, then exporting an OMF with everything (no need source TC anymore). Talk about a long run for a short slide!!

Maybe we’re just way over-thinking this, but additional software seems to be a tough sale to upper mgmt. Thoughts?
