  • Time Code and playback on Music Video set

    Posted by John Presky on December 12, 2015 at 10:28 am

    Hello!
    I want to understand a playback on set, to be more accurate: TIMECODE. Let’s say that they are making a music video with playback. Before the actual sound starts rolling there’s 4 beeps. And I want to know for what are the beeps being using for and where should be placed ( before actual song or in the middle) ?

    Thank You

    The beeps are at the head of the track at the same tempo as the track itself. The track would start where 5 would be if you were counting in tempo.
