Dennis Kersten Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Quick question, on set right now and we're wondering; When the camera rolls 50 fps and the sound 25 fps is the first frame of video/audio in sync? In otherwords does the audioclip sync with the videoclip on the first frame? Thanks!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Kersten Posted July 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Ok tested it quickly, not possible to use ext tc when filming on 50 fps. Seems logical Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Wielage Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Correct. SMPTE has yet to finalize any timecode standards over 30fps at the moment. There's a committee that's going to do some kind of whacked-out "granular" timecode standard that will work all the way up to 120fps, but it'll require a radical change in hardware and software in order to make it work. This is not a trivial change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego Sanchez Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 The best thing to do, if running dialogue, is to get them to do a slate clap, like in the old times. That way if they decide to ramp back to 25 the clip, or a bit of it, they can sync the audio back with the clap. Also, be aware that if they go suddenly back to 25, the camera will be out of sync, so re-jam. You might know this but just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prahlad Strickland Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 I've done a few shoots with red ones, where they shot 50, i just sent 25, all worked fine in post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
