Appendix B Working with a Film Project

• In the Film TC column, enter timecode generated by a film camera
(using Aaton or Arri timecode) for tracking the picture at the start of
the clip. The film timecode should sync with the video timecode
logged in the Start column. Only 24-fps timecode is supported. The
clip being digitized must contain a video track.
• In the TC 24 column, enter timecode for original HDTV sources
(1080p/24) or audio DATs created for PAL feature-film productions
that use in-camera timecode.

You can use the Duplicate command to convert timecodes from one format
to another. For more information, see “Duplicating a Column” on
page 127.
Entering the Ink Number (Optional)
To enter ink numbers:
1. Open the Film Setting dialog box by double-clicking Film in the
Settings scroll list of the Project window.
2. Make sure the correct options are selected for ink number format and
ink number display, and click OK.
n
You can log different ink number formats in the same project as long as
you change the ink number setting to the appropriate format before you
log each type. Changing the ink number setting affects only the next ink
numbers you log, not numbers already logged.
3. Return to the bin and enter numbers under the Ink Number heading.
For example, use Keykode format or use a 2-digit prefix to identify the
roll, a hyphen, a 4- or 5-digit footage count, a plus sign, and a 2-digit
frame count (for example, AA-00924+00).
Entering Additional Film Data
You can continue to log additional film data into the Labroll, Camroll,
Soundroll, Scene, and Take columns, or into your own custom columns, as
necessary. You can include the information in these columns on the cut
lists you create for your edited sequence.
