Thanks Erik and John for your replies. John, I'm currently in the middle of reading your excellent book (when not too busy working).

I should clarify that I'm having no trouble finding the correct audio files for the missing sync shots. My trouble is getting an audio TC reference for that shot. It can be pretty hard to eyeball the sync when it's a few footsteps or some movement.

The video EDL gives me the shot and the video TC, but I still need audio TC. I can get audio EDLs with no problems, but they will only give me TC for the audio clips that are used in the sequence - not the ones that are missing, which is exactly what I am after.

Does that make sense, or am I confused?
