free-run timecode problems
by Matylda Dymek on May 11, 2008 at 3:52:16 pm

Hi

We're editing a 30 min feature film.

The sound was recorded using free-run timecode and (for some reason) it doesn't match the TC on the video.
The production house have now given us the video and audio synced in seperate timelines. So I have about 25 hours of footage laid out in about 28 seperate sequences. And each synced clip is seperated by lots of empty space/slug. There are two audio tracks from the camera and two from sound.

How do I edit with this?
If I autosync or group clips and create subclips, I'll loose the sync that the production house created in the sequences and when we hand over the finished cut to the soundguy it will create mahem.

The on-set-soundguy (the same one that lost sync in the first place...) says we should create seperate masterclips, from the synced sequences, with a NEW timecode. Is this an option? How do I do that?

Any help will be greatly appreciated, pretty new to Avid (Media Composer).

Matylda
