Re: [Avid-L2] Re: HDSLR workflow

I may have missed some of this but MC will create Timecode from AMA'ed DSLR
footage. It derives the timecode from the creation time of the media (I
believe that is uses the Quicktime metadata, rather than the filesystem
information) - it is consistent and reproducable, so the same file AMA'ed
multiple times will have matching timecode - with one minor (major?)
issue... The timecode is calculated in the current timezone, so we found
that after daylight savings all our clips came in with a timecode that was
one-hour later than a previous import... Easy enough to fix (temporarily
change system time) but freaky when we first encountered it.

Our DSLR workflow is usually: AMA -> Transcode to Offline Res -> Edit ->
Link to AMA sources -> Transcode to Online Res -- it's pretty solid, but
there are some AMA quirks that do occasionally complicate the process
