Hi Mixers, Does anyone know about Time Code settings shooting 24p on the Canon XF305 cameras?
This camera allegedly only accepts 29.97 TC, even while recording in other frame rates.
The camera's manual states: "When other functions (24p) the frames value in the time code runs from 0 to 23" For other settings it runs from 0 to 29"
ok
I'd like my Audio TC frame rate to match the frame rate of the video files that end up in the editing room. So my plan is to cross jam the camera with a Lockit box set to 29.97ndf , but run my TC on the recorder at 23.98ndf
The mystery is that I don't really know what TC the resulting video files will ultimately have. I'm just guessing and the production has no clue either...in spite of repeated queries on this issue.
Lastly, I'll get a hint, by recording a test file on the camera, then playing it back while importing the camera TC into my 788t, which will then show the frame rate of the received TC coming back from the camera...
or will that be 29.97 too?
cameras....
Thanks people, David
