[Avid-L2] Re: QT Change and Go Pro Footage?

 

I heard back from Bouke and he has a utility/app MP4 to Quicktime that will add time code and reel name as well as using Time of Day or Rec Run.  Looks like a good suggestion for the client.

I have QT change and use it to add time code and burn ins.  I'm aware that it will also take certain file based media and help organize it and add .thm based time code.  In my experience adding time code and burn ins there are some files  that don't work with QT change even though they are .mov files.  I have a client that uses some Go Pro footage and their process is to make the Go Pro footage time code sequential.  I assume that means they manually alter the time code once in Avid.  This sounds like it could be a job better handled by QT change to give the clips more of a TOD time code based on the .thm info, if that exists in Go Pro footage.  I have heard that older Go Pros didn't have time code and newer ones do.  I'm assuming that my client gets Go Pro footage without time code or does Avid just ignore it?  In talking with AEs at a few places it seems sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't when it gets into Avid.  I've also heard that at a time Go Pros would not AMA and had to be imported traditionally, is this correct and is this still true?  I don't have any Go Pro media handy to play around with.  Hopefully I can get some from this client and experiment.  Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.

Also does version 7 and the dynamic folders offer any significant improvement in Go Pro media handling?
