Need more info. Was the sound synced in telecine? If so, is the audio timecode burned in on the video image?

How did you capture the footage, if you didn’t use the telecine logs? Are you clips divided anything like the clips described in the telecine log?

You need to link the quicktimes you edited with to a Cinema Tools database. In the database records, you have to log the correct audio timecodes, and video edge codes and timecodes.

So whether you can use your original telecine logs is decided by whether you captured your footage in the same groupings.

If not, I would export a FCP batch list of the master clips, create a Cinema Tools database from that, and then use the original logs to locate corresponding audio timecode and video timecode points, and then set the cinema tools records to match the correct information.

If the process is done backwards, often there is a lot of additional work, but it can be done.

That overlay menu is in the canvas. It’s been there since FCP 1.

You need to do the basic tutorial from the install DVD.

Remeber, Ben Stein is the guy who called Iraqi prisoner abuse “frat-boy mistreatment.”

He has a history of oversimplification.

It’s called audio scrubbing, and it is under the view menu, or shift s will turn it on and off.

“shift command(apple) [” or “shift command(apple) ]” works for me to change tabs on active window.

Dean Kamen invented the Segway. Bill Gates didn’t have anything to do with it.

There’s a movie called LaJetee from 1962 by Chris Marker that is a story all told in stills. (It was a short that was remade by Terry Gilliam as “12 Monkeys”). It’s been on VHS and DVD, though I’m not sure it’s still in print.

I just found something else: The Late-Breaking News about Cinema Tools 3.1.2 If you don’t have version 3.1.2, perhaps you should update:

Reverse Telecine File Size Limitation Resolved
An issue with performing reverse telecine on large files has been resolved. The only
limits to the size of the file that can be processed with the Reverse Telecine feature are
the amount of free space on the destination disk and any file system limits placed by
the operating system.

[Steven Gonzales]

Here’s the answer straight from Apple:

When performing reverse telecine to remove pull-down, avoid using large files wherever possible. In some cases, large files may result in issues with timing and audio sync. For the best results, use files that are under 9 GB for reverse telecine.

If you have larger files, you should split them or recapture them as smaller files before performing reverse telecine.
