I'm just wondering what the correct procedure for handling timecode is. We have TITAN and I know approximately how to use it for conforming multitrack/HD setups, but not on film. How is the timecode of the audio correlated back to the telecined video material in the EDL? Does the audio timecode have to be sync'd to slate in the logging or something?


Thanks,

The audio timecode has to be included in a Flex file during the original telecine, and that file used in the picture edit. (An EDL can then be exported that uses the audio TC as source instead of the picture source TC.) Otherwise the conform is manual. Were all 4 tracks transferred in telecine and on into the edit system (I hope)?
