Time Code DVD from 720 24PN – How to?
What is the most expedient way to get T.C. burn DVD screener copies from 720 24PN footage?

Export the sequence as a reference movie. Reimport that and put on the TIMECODE READER video filter. Output via capture card to DVD recorder. Take you just about as long as the project is long, minus the time needed to prep the clip with TC.
If you don’t have a capture card and DVD recorder, then after you put TC on the clip, export it again as a ref movie and import that into DVD Studio Pro and burn the DVD. This will take a lot longer…

Shane,
It makes sense to me to preserve the 23.976 source code from the archived .mxf data instead of outputting a 29.97 t.c. burn? Does that make sense to you?

Who said anything about outputting a 29.97 file? If you export a QT Movie…and make it NOT self contained, it will be a reference movie, with all the same characteristics of your original…codec, frame rate, et al. When you re-import that and apply the filter, it’ll be 24fps code. Export again for DVD SP…burn the DVD…still 23.98. At no point does it become 29.97.

Sounds good Shane . . . now here’s a tougher question . . . these DVD’s we need are ‘dailies’ of all the footage shot on the HVX200 over a period of three days. I would like to have the t.c. on the dvd refer to the P2 (.mxf) t.c. of the original file. the t.c. plug-in in fcp seems only to refer to the timeline start point.
To make it even more difficult – we deleted ‘bad’ takes on the set so the P2 t.c. is not continuous.
Is there another t.c. generator plug in that uses the source file’s t.c. to genereate the burn?
Thanks for your input . . .

Put all the clips onto a timeline…drop the TC READER onto all of them. It will read THEIR TC, not the timeline TC. When you export a self contained QT movie (or ref movie) the TC given to it is that of the timeline. But if you put the clip onto the timeline it retains it’s own. Put the filter on one, highlight it…COPY….then highlight the others and hit APPLE-V…filters.
