Thanks Shane,
To confirm, I am looking for the source time code of the reel’s individual video mixdown.
Right now, when I throw up the time code generator above a stitched sequence of reels, the source timecode for each reel reads: “N/A”. The reel time code is preserved in each reel’s video mix down.
Having a hard time understanding why the source time code is preserved in the video mix down, however, is not readable by the time code generator.
When I go back to the reel’s original AVID sequence and export a QT ref, the time code generator is able to read the source time code fine when I bring it back into AVID. This wastes time as I have to wait for AVID to re-import the QT ref into an MXF file.
