Timecode Burn
I’m going to be working on a feature length film shot on the Red Camera and the footage is going to be transcoded to ProRes for editing. In what situations would I need to burn in timecode? I could do it while transcoding to ProRes but that would just give me the original timecode of the footage itself (which could be useful if there are problems reconnecting to the R3D files down the road). Personally, I kind of think applying the timecode once the film is cut would be more useful since it then could be used by the composer, post sound, and vfx. If I am correct in my understanding, should I use the FCP timecode feature and start it at the first frame of action? I’d really appreciate your knowledge in this area since I’m not sure who needs timecode and who doesn’t. Thanks, Ryan

A Kona card can add a TC window when you create a tape.

TC stays with the clips also, so it does not need to be burned in transcoded clips, if you drop a TCR filter on the clip in a seq it will display the clips TC which is helpful on dailies and audio conforming.
Kona TC window doing to tape gives you the Seq TC, NOTE: if I’m adding pulldown going to tape the Kona TC window seems to whack out on me (23.98 seq to 29.97 tape)
