Ken,
Not sure if you're doing that or not, but make sure you don't use AMA for bringing in the sound files. Traditional import takes TC and other metadata from the BWAV's BEXT chunk, but if you AMA BWAV files, you are relying on whatever timecode QuickTime player decides to supply you with. And we all know what a great piece of software QuickTime is. Or, to paraphrase Terry, friends don't let friends rely on QuickTime for anything.

If they stuck a lockit or similar tc generator on the camera and left it there, then you're probably in good shape. If they just jammed directly to the camera in the morning and then after lunch, then camera TC might wander a bit after a while. If they were relying on the F3's clock, you may need to do some visual syncing with later takes. Or not...kind of a crap shoot, ime.

What is the best way to marry the sound and pix? I believe it has matching time code. I may also need to be able to link back to the original F3 material. What can I do? Metafuze? Something else?
