Considerations When Originating on Film When editing 24p material that originated on film, you need to be aware of a number of special circumstances.

(See Film Edge Code for details about edge code.) • The film must be transferred to video using a telecine. Typically the offline telecine video output contains burned-in video and audio timecode, as well as key numbers. These burned-in values (known as window burn) are invaluable when you intend to later conform the film. Unfortunately, their visibility is a problem if you also intend to use the 24p video to produce a video version of the program. For this reason, if you intend to produce both a conformed film and an edited video version of the project, you might have the telecine run on two decks simultaneously, one with the window burn and the other without. • Whether you're shooting film or 24p video, sound is almost always recorded separately from the picture, with a separate sound recorder. This is often referred to as recording dual system sound. Although 24p productions can record the sound on the 24p video recorder, providing synced audio that is easily captured with Final Cut Pro, film productions do not have the option of recording sound on the film, so the audio must be synced to the picture at some point later in the process. The preferred workflow is to synchronize the audio during the telecine transfer. This makes it easy to capture the audio along with the video clips for editing with Final Cut Pro. The Cinema Tools database can track the original sound roll numbers and audio timecode and generate an audio EDL that can be used to recapture and edit the audio at an audio post-production facility. See Telecines for information about telecine transfers. See Exporting an Audio EDL for information about exporting audio EDLs. 210 Chapter 13 Working with 24p Video and 24 fps EDLs
