In FCP modify TC
In Scratch we treat this as an offline online situation coming back to scratch for final output to uncompressed v210, from an FCP EDL
that being said, in the output from scratch in “Guides” turn on source TC/TC. Place this in the letterbox area of picture. If you shot Red 2:1 you’ll have a narrow band at the top & bottom of picture if you do a “fit width” in the framing controls.
The clip name and source code as well as Scratch Construct TC is now burned in to the picture and can be cropped in FCP to show nothing.
If you come back to scratch for finishing (Shot repos / framing blemish fixes Etc are incredible in scratch) make sure your ref Movie has the BITC. makes conform a snap if any EDL hink occurs. You can immediately see what shot you need.
be aware that any speed ramps in FCP work by using a frame count. If you do any of this the entire shot needs to be output from scratch in order to do the finish in FCP from a final grade out of scratch.
These are best approached in their own constructs in scratch since it does not do speed ramps to match FCP ramps. Straight up speed changes are fine in scratch but not ramps.

Doug, Sorry for the delay I was out of the office.

Yes, we can burn in code and manually conform. That is too time costly. I need an EDL file that will auto conform to source TC after an FCP edit. Did I miss something in your reply? How do we get FCP to take source code from an ALE made in Scratch when we output in realtime to ProRes for offline?

Thanks, Film Joe
