If you're getting the TC from your sequence's Mark In then it shouldn't matter.On Mon, Sep 8, 2014 at 6:33 PM, bigfish@pacbell.net [Avid-L2] <Avid-L2@yahoogroups.com> wrote:Many of our AEs use the quick keys macros for subclipping to make multigroups. Unfortunately many just use them by rout and don't really understand what's going on. One issue the macros don't handle is when your base timecode, usually from the audio stems is not the same time code base as the cameras are. We shoot non drop on our reality series but for a few seasons production has f'd up the first few days of shooting and they have a mismatch of drop vs. nondrop. If you manually enter the ";" or ":" to indicate the time code type for the aux time code Avid will handle a mismatch. When using the quick keys macro their is no provision to manually add the ";" or ":" as needed. At this point our AEs decide to modify source time code so they all match. Needless to say this creates problems down the line so while the Quick key macro is powerful it helps to really know what it's doing so you can resort to manual methods when needed. I've been burned by this and I'm still healing. ;-)
