This is the second time I see a request for this.
I’ll update my QTchange application so it will do this for you.

Stay tuned, should not take that long. (Probably tonight).

Well,
I do have a few customers who use these cams.

Dual sound is normal with video cams as well.
Timecode is around for longer than most of the users of this fora are alive, nothing fancy.

Testing, yes, very much needed.

And i agree that for run ‘n gun work traditional cams are better.

But if you control the shooting situation, using still cams is very well possible. (And the moment 24 or 25 is available i’m going to buy one!)

But if you think that two ‘real’ HD cams with DOF adapters will be cheaper in the end, think again, and go back to school to learn math.

A decent HD rig is about 50K. A still cam is about 5.
That is 90K difference for two cams.

Cost of rendering? Just time. Perhaps a few extra CPU’s at a value of 10K.
Still 80k difference.

Software? You need my stuff, that’s nothing in comparison.

Dual audio?
A BWF recorder is some 2K. Do it with a laptop and slave to LTC, it’s the price of a laptop and input board. Also close to nothing.

Matt,
this app. can do more nowadays.
You also have the option to swap normal / aux TC, and you can merge the QT’s with BWF files for auto syncing.
(also great as FCP and DF bwf do not play nice)

There is a seperate application for the merging.

Do download the latest version and toy with it

Jason,
Not sure about the 5D, but i know about audio timecode.
You need this:

If you have a TC generator, use it.
But you can also use this:

No idea what will happen with slowing down in what stage.
But if you use the merge app. that comes with the FCP auxTC reader,
you start with synced clips.

I would like a few Canon clips to toy around though, so if someone can provide me a few, i would be grateful.

hth,

DUDES!

You are PROS!

This is a typical DF / NDF issue.

Keep in mind that TC in WAV (or BWF in this case) DOES NOT contain DF / NDF information. (Well, it can store a bit of extra info, but afaik, only Avid uses that part of metadata on import, and only if you allow it to do so…)

Also keep in mind that BWF and FCP do not play nice.
(Hence Andreas’ BWF to XML and my way of putting BWF in a QT container)

Download my FCPauxTC reader, it comes with a BWF / QT merge application. Use that one to check the BWF TC, perhaps that’ll shed some light on what goes wrong where. (the free demo will do just fine.)

well, how about just creating a new bin, put the stuff you want to export there and export?

Or am i missing the point?

What i see is video scaled without de-interlacing, and without software that knows the source was interlaced.

Enable Disk label in your bins and see if there are indeed disk labels.
If not, it’s not a problem to add them. (and add reel numbers as well if you like, in case you want to re-ingest over SDI)
Or, if the material is ingested and not transcoded, it’s not a problem as long as you don’t have to relink. (It’s in native form then, so it will not get better when reingested)

The naming seems custom to me, and there is perhaps logic behind it…
Ask the previous editor about it.

hth,

Bouke
