[Avid-L2] Re: A plea for Rec run TC on file based shoots, and to introduce 23.976

In the higher end television workflows you will see a blend of REC RUN and TOD in the workflow. When dailies go through a facility for a basic one light and selects "reel" the START now reflects the selects and the "Tape" - this is the REC RUN version. But each of those clips maintain the original source and TOD timecode from the originals - be it file based or tape. These values get tracked in a variety of columns - TC24, AUXTC24, AuxTC 1-5, etc. Alternate sources are tracked in Camroll or Labroll depending on how may generations need to be tracked. EDL Manager can then output any source TC and Reel combo for online needs downstream. Avid tracks it all. SO it is about getting the best workflow for the production at hand - and while 80% are the same, it can be the 20% differences that kill you! ;)
