Timecode selection in REDCINE

[dmax]

Hi,
How do I select which of the 2 timecodes on teh r3d files I want to use for teh dpx output from Redcine?
Thanks.

I don't think that you can select which to use. At least I've searched and read and can't find out any way to do it. If there was good documentation for RedCine then we might know better .....
It seems that the timecode track selected in the camera display when shooting determines which timecode track RedCine uses.

So then are you able to get time of Day TC out of Redcine? So far, I haven't, I've only been able to get, Edge Code. Which is a pain, as Log and Transfer (which I prefer) brings in time of day TC. I'd like to do my offline via Log and transfer imports, then online with my Redcine exports, but I can't figure out a way to get the TC's the same.

Is there a way to choose which TC you want in Log and Transfer? If so I can't find it.

Hi,

There is no way we could find in the time we had, so rather than eye match at online, the offline editor re-took in everything to FCP, but using DRAG&DROP which kept the edge timecode.
The FCP workflow is well touted but I'd choose Avid with metacheater next time.
Cheers,

There's no way to choose which TC in L&T AFAIK. The fact that these two tools use different timecode tracks seems like a huge oversight (let's call it .... a screw up?) on someone's part. It makes certain workflows totally unusable.

I've cut RED in both and other than the fact it's easier to get Crimson to work with FCP I totally agree that the Avid metacheater methods of preferable.
