Any advice for entering timecode AFTER importing footage to Avid?

[Miguel "Macgregor" De Olaso]

You mean if you export into DNxHD codec trhought redcine Avid will be able to read the timecode?

That is one way since RedCine inserts the time of day timecode into the QT/

And edge code can be insterted too?
So using DHxND from redcine means we don´t need metacheater?

REDCINE can insert TOD into the QT wrapped DNxHD 175/180 when created. It does not insert edgecode. Also, Avid does not yet read timecode from QT wrappers. That is slated for an upcoming release. For now metadata from REDcine is done via MetaCheater on the resulting QT files, or saving the REDCINE project as XML and using the XML to ALE XSLT file as describe on www.avid.com/red - just keep in mind that REDCINE does not export edgecode either in the XML at this time. As far as I know, only REDrushes captures and logs both into an ALE at this time.

Are both timecodes in theQT?

The proxies have two QT timecode tracks in them

Thanks Nick - For now we are relying on REDCINE, REDrushes, and MetaCheater for metadata extraction -
