Arnold F. Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 I'd love to find a resource that discusses timecode in depth so that I can get a thorough understanding of the subject and not have to rely on someone else to tell me why a certain framerate is used when. Does such a thing exist? Timecode for Idiots? A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest klingklang Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 http://wolfvid.com/html/lit.html everything under "books". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tourtelot Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Gotta agree. Wolf is "the Man" for TC as well as for a lot of other technical stuff we all need to know and don't have room in our brains to memorize. All his books are "worth their weight. . . ." D.

Arnold F. Posted August 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Many thanks. I have one of his lovely books but, as I recall (can't find it on the shelf at this moment), the information contained therein, handy as it may be, is more of the nature of a crib note about some common situations and not the kind of comprehensive discussion I think I need. Heck, if someone here who knows a lot about wants to write one it I'll pay for it. A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergio Sanmiguel Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Maybe this can help: Time and Control Codes for 24, 25 or 30 Frame-Per-Second Motion-Picture Systems Or you can browse the whole SMPTE store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Mayer Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Arnold, For printed matter, try: Timecode, A User's Guide - John Ratcliffe SPARS Timecode Primer - (Available on the Trew Audio website, I believe..) For online: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMPTE_time_code http://www.philrees.co.uk/articles/timecode.htm Have fun! ---Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Parra Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Hi Arnold, Wolf's books are a must read. I also like "Using Time Code In The Reel World III" by Jim Tanenbaum. I'm not sure if it is still available. It is a bit tedious to read, but it has a wealth of information. If all else fails, give me a call!
