Shot an Genesis HD Camera, now how to sync sound?

Here's the situation:
1. Shot on Genesis camera (looks great) which records onto HD-CAM SR stock.
2. Audio mono mix on the tape's track 1.
3. Audio timecode data on tape's track 2. This is time-of-day timecode that does not include the audio reel number.
4. Master six channel audio "reels" are DVDs.
Here's the problem:
How do you turn that timecode data on track 2 into an EDL the sound dept. can use to rebuild from the sound reels?
Much thanks to any insight on this. This problem is baffling a lot of folks, and the easy scapegoat is Final Cut. Personally, I think film production is turning at last into a video production and people are having a hard time accepting it.

First off, wow, you shot with the new Genesis? Very cool, how did you like it? What type of project did you shoot? Feature, commercial, documentary, etc...?
As far as syncing your sound... Most high end productions that shoot HD also go into a telecine suite to transfer their circle takes and sync their sound. This also creates new HD masters because I would not suggest using your camera masters for anything else except an archive (like negatives).
So one way to do it would be to go into a telecine suite at somewhere like Encore or Company 3 and have your dailies transferred with sync'd sound to new HDCam SR tapes and include a flex file in that order. This flex file is then input into cinema tools and final cut. Then when you create your EDL, you have all the numbers you need for sound and picture. And now you also have protection masters.
Plaster City does not have telecine so they may not be able to help you with this process. But they may have some other way of bringing all this data together for you in a flex file or cinema tools database.

  • How to sync sound?

    Hi!
    When I watch movies on my MacBook Pro, using the TV as display, I get a small delay on the sound (or picture I can't really figure it out). Is the an app to sync the sound by delaying it or the picture?
    /Jonas

    It doesn't sound that easy. It's surely easy to do but not very applyable when you pick out a movie to see with friends and have to test and convert it first...
    There has to be some way to do it in real time?

  • How to sync sound to a pdf presentation

    Hi,
    Im doing a pdf presentation where im making some images appear according to a background music. To make the music play, i link it in the page atributes of the first page as an action (page open, play sound). Then i synched the images with the music using transitions and autoflip. Everything was fine until i try to open the file in another pc. When i tried opening in other machine, the sound was way off. When i opened the file it said buffering,  and then the music was like slowed in relation with the images.
    Is there a way to sync music to pages, or preload the file so it wont be out of sync.
    PS. This is for a school project, where we have to use acrobat, so theres no chance of me doing it on other software.
    Thank you very much,
    Andy

    I did kind of a reverse process several years ago. I set the timing of each page and set the audio links to start with the opening of each page. Probably not useful to you. I would be interested in whatever solution you find for your process.

  • How do you sync sound from a digital recorder with video?

    Can anyone tell me how to sync sound with video? Not a voice over but Voice recorded when video was shot. Voice was recorded on hand held digital recorder.

    When you're shooting use the ciak , then when in imovie, sync the sound of ciak with the closing of it and you're done
    If u havent's used , just seek for a sound or a part of speech witch is very evident to sing
    Do it before cut video
    hope helps

  • I am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier

    i am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier photo please help me to recover my photos

    Well I'll guess you're using iPhoto 11:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • HT6147 iPhone 4S updated to IOS 7.0.6 and now my Photo Stream doesn't synch photos to my Camera Roll - how do I fix this?

    iPhone 4S updated to IOS 7.0.6 and now my Photo Stream doesn't synch photos to my Camera Roll - how do I fix this?

    seems like your phone isn't activated properly. try doing a hard reset (hold power+home until phone restarts).
    if you have a CDMA carrier, this might not fix it for you. call the carrier and ask them to reset the activation.

  • I have material shot on a new camera in 16x9.  When I import it into FCPX the media is "squished" into 4x3.  How can I get it to look right?

    I have material shot on a new camera.  It's a Panasonic AG-HPX250EJ.
    According to the clip properties of the media on the camera the footage was shot 16x9 at a frame rate of 50i
    The format is DV25_420
    The problem is that when I connect the camera to the iMac via a USB cable and attempt to import the media into FCPX (I'm running version 10.0.1) it displays as 4x3.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Needless to say I have a deadline looming for the edit and I'm rather tearing my hair out. 

    If problem persists after importing via FW
    Select the clips in the event browser and in the inspector select INFO.
    Ensure that the View bottom Left is set to SETTINGS.
    You should be able to change the way FCPX interprets the clips via Anamorphic Override.

  • TS1425 My iPod Classic was working fine all day.  Came home and uploaded to voice memos via iTunes, now there is no sound coming from my iPod.  I've used both headphones and a docking station.  The songs don't even begin, they just skip to the next one.

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Have you tried resetting the PMU?
    I'm not optimistic that this will help any more than the procedures you've already tried, but it won't hurt to try.
    Do you still have your OS 9 installation? If so, try booting into OS 9 and see if the problems with the audio are happening there, too. If so, you can bet it's a hardware problem.
    How big is your hard drive and how much space remains available on it? If you don't have your OS 9 installation in order to check out whether it's a hardware problem and you have enough available hard drive space, you may want to try an Archive and Install of the OS in order to make sure it isn't an OS X system-wide problem. If that doesn't do it, you could back up your hard drive and restore your software.
    All of this may just be spinning your wheels, but it's all stuff you can try before shelling out a lot of money for repairs.

  • I was 3-4 updates behind on ipad. Did back-up, installed update to ipad now how do I get my purchased apps back on my ipad?

    I was 3-4 updates behind on ipad. Did back-up, installed update to ipad now how do I get my purchased apps back on my ipad? I assume they didn't back up to cloud since that came with this update. I can see all my purchased apps but no way to transfer them back to my ipad from whereever they are.  Wish itunes was more user friendly.  Help please.

    If you are running iTunes 11 and if you didn't figure this out yet, when you launch iTunes - go to View>Show Sidebar from the menu at the top of the screen. Once you can see the sidebar, iTunes looks so much more familiar.
    The "new look" iTunes doesn't appeal all that much to me, I just want the functionality that I have always had. It's still there, its just been hidden with a lot of fluff and visual wow that I really don't care about .... Just my opinion.

  • After I restored my ipad I chose itunes restore. now how can I get my info of which is backed up from icloud?.

    hi all!
    Reseting ipad, we are asked to restore info from icloud or itunes. If we choose icloud, the info will be restored, but the apps on the ipad should be downloaded from app. store! because icloud can't save the applications. and If we choose to restore with itunes, the apps will be loaded quickly ,But still we need our info in icloud. and if we go to icloud backup , from ipad settings, we just have one choice: back up now! that backs up the new info, not our backed up info. but we need our backed up info.
    After I restored my ipad I chose itunes restore. now how can I get my info of which is backed up from icloud?

    This is called "stealing". You do not have the legal right to give her the music you have in your iTunes library unless you are the copyright holder.
    when syncing it it said she had to update her phone software first
    That's not quite what it said.  Someone should have paid more attention to the great big warning about the possibility of losing data if the phone wasn't backed up.
    We cannot find her new photos. Please help and there was 100 new pics. Is there any way we can get them back. I already have the program Asoftech - but it doesnt seem to register the iphone only C and D drive. Please help!
    It restored the backup that was made on your computer 6 months ago, which did not contain those photos. You're wasting your time trying to find them on the phone. They don't exist.
    Hopefully, your friend syncs her phone to her own computer on a regular basis. She needs to plug her phone into her computer and restore it from her last backup. That will restore it to the state it was in when the backup was made.
    She also needs to get in the habit of extracting the photos on a regular basis, like she would from any other digital camera.

  • Macbook pro serial no C1******H2G. But I don't know the admin password & I'm not given with the OSX CD. Now how I can unlock my macbook pro.

    Hello, I recently bought a refurbished macbook pro which serial no is C1******H2G. I can't open this coz I was not provided with any admin password. Point to note here I have not any operating system CD also. Now how can I unlock my macbook pro ??
    < Personal Information Edited By Host >

    Who did you purchase the MBP from.  They should have the password.
    An early 2011 MBP probably came with Snow Leopard. Use the original OSX disks and reinstall 10.6.
    There is a possibility that it came with Lion (10.7).  In that case boot the MBP holding the OPTION+COMMAND+R keys.  That should connect you to the Apple servers and install the original OSX.
    Ciao.

    Cambria is a 'serif font that came with Windows Vista and Microsoft Office 2007, specifically designed for screen reading and to keep the good integrity of small characters when printing.' ('Police de caractères' is French for 'font'.)
    Quit Pages. Double-click the font to examine it and have the option to add it to Font Book. If it's compatible with Macs it will be added to the font list and be available in Pages.

    If you Restore using last computer you synced to the password will be removed and you can restore the last backup on your computer, which includes your camera roll.
    If you enabled Photo Stream in iCloud your photos are in Photo Stream.
    If you had installed one of the many apps that can upload photos to a photo sharing site and had used it you will have your photos.
    If you have done none of these things you are out of luck. The phone comes with many tools to preserve content, but you have to use them.
