much of this discussion relates to FCP setup problems.. what about avid? i'm working on a 5d shoot for the first time soon and i'm confused about which TC and sample rate to use. the camera shoots 30, the editor told me the avid will run at 29.97, so which should i use? i'll be using a smart slate.. and since avid can interpret TC from a video clip's audio, i'm also considering sending TC to the 5d's audio input via g2. would this be more advantageous than scratch audio?
regarding TC and sample rate, my first guess would be to roll TC at 30, record @ 48,048 and force-stamp the files @ 48. but then i think maybe 29.97/48 would be better. i'm hoping to do a test with the camera but the chances are iffy..
any thoughts or insight on which way to go? many thanks. -scott
