Yes, they should line up cut for cut. But the QT reference will have continuous timecode from the beginning to the end, and the original clips from which the QT reference was made each have individual timecodes (as well as tape sources) that have nothing to do with the QT reference. So your edl will never properly match the QT reference: the source columns will be referencing timecodes that don’t exist in it.
In essence, I guess, you could use a text editor and change all “sources” to your QT file, and then simply copy the “record side” timecodes into the “source side” columns. That might work.

Kate,
I’m not sure you can do this. The reference QT will have only continuous timecode, if it has timecode at all, and presumably your various clips had timecodes referencing multiple source clips, correct? If so, then your timecodes will never match your QT ref, no matter what the tape name is.
Am I understanding your situation correctly?

Thank you for the great information, Brian. Much appreciated. Lots to learn in the sound recording world.

Sorry I don’t have an answer to your original question, but I’ve been trying to understand this whole process too. I just wanted to add another voice to the confused. If somebody could give a basic rundown of the process, I’d also be very much appreciative.

I’d think, worst case, you’d just have to pay the upgrade from your last “boxed set” to the current version, whatever that may be. I’m worried about Adobe getting stupid with licensing too, but I gotta say, I’m loving the cloud subscription right now. I can easily move from work to home by simply deactivating one or the other, etc. Very nice. Plus, being able to go from Mac to PC and back is also a huge bonus.

I like the Rode, but LOVE the Audio Technica BP4025, although it’s a tad above your price point. As with many things audio related, what’s best is often subjective.

Ann,
How do you make the circle effect into an elipse? That’s EXACTLY what I’m looking for right now, but can’t seem to change the dimensions of the circle…?

[Joseph Owens] “You have the cart before the horse. Apple purged everyone who was not on board during the development of the X version, so the entire organization is on the same pitcher of KoolAid. By definition, there can be no mistake. It is within the corporate orthodoxy of internal infallibility. People who have never edited a national spot, feature film or long-form documentary know more about the process than those who do. It could be argued that the 3-5 minute “B”-roll news clip or YouTube short will supersede all other forms of recorded entertainment, mostly due to mass audience ADD.
Do people even listen through a whole song on their iPods anymore before clicking to something else?”
Phew, that is a LONG response. I’ll read the second half tomorrow…if I remember too.

[Herb Sevush] “visuals are never locked to a specific track”
Actually this isn’t quite true in my case. I’ll often put titles ID-ing VFX on a specific track, say v5, so that I can turn them off if I’m doing an output, but they’re visible when doing work so I know where my VFX are and what their status is. Lots of reasons for a track-based workflow.

Job’s advice is good. I installed PT on top of my Avid install a while back and over time started having some audio driver issues. When I recently uninstalled both and installed them in the “correct” way, the problems went away. I’d recommend being safe over sorry, even though it can be a bit of a PITA.
