EDL Question.
Sabrina Duncan
TR-700 and another vcr. I think the program was called Soft_Edit PRO-750
or something like that. Anyway does this program support RC timecode, or
just control-L? If not is there anything that does support RCTC?
How does the EDL work on premiere? Could I use this instead?
Thanks.

: Thanks.
My experience with RCTC is limited to Sony equipment. This includes the
dual deck editor (model # 7600?) and the VO-9600 or 9800. Sorry, I only
remember model #'s when I am using the equipment often. What was cool
about the 96/9800 was that I was using it as part of a large edit system
with serial port control (the edit control unit was controlling the deck
and creating a repeatable EDL). Another great aspect of both the dual
deck unit and the high-end decks was the TC could be post striped. In
essence, it didn't matter whether the source camera/deck had TC or not.
FYI, the edit control unit I was using was the Sony BVE-910. (Now that #
I know).
My very limited understanding of premiere is that serial control of a
deck is an option ($). But if you had that option, and a 96/9800 deck as
a source, it might indeed be possible to produce an EDL. Of course, you
would need to find a post house with one of those decks if you wanted to
conform, or, lots of storage on your mac and forget about conforming
(render to tape). But then there would be no need for serial control
anyway, except for reloading deleted footage.
Hope that helps. Good luck.

Video Director claims to use RC time code, and is available for both
IBM PCs and Apple Macs. (Fry's price is about $125)
Videonics Thumbs Up Editor also claims to use RC time code, and does
not require a computer at all. (NWE price is $169)
I have not used either of these products, so I'm just repeating what
brochures I've read claim about the products.
