John, try this: find a person on a production shoot. Ask them why they think you want bars and tone. I would guess that you'd get a good answer at a rate of about 10%. Not that they're not smart enough to know, just that it never occurs to most production members what post might need or why. No one has ever taught them, nor do they ever try to use their own media themselves. I'm out there like the rest of us, advocating good practices where I can, but many times either no one's listening or no one cares.

Everything looks good albeit a tad hot for a stage show with a full production crew. My media was ama transcoded to Dnx 220 so just to be safe I ama link back to the XDCam material and sure enough it's hot from the source. Nothing I wouldn't expect from a typical field camera type shoot but this is a full production crew with line feed and isos. I go to the top of the clips and I can't find any bars and tone? Now I do realize that our digital world is more stable with levels but with all the transcoding etc... when did putting bars and tone at the head of program and iso feeds become an option that can be skipped with a full network production crew. I'm just a little saddened by a lack of technical discipline of the most basic nature. Am I just being cranky to think bars and tone are part of the price of admission with a full tilt production crew? I do realize quite often the tape ops etc... on production trucks will record router bars which may not be perfect but at least they make the effort to give the rest of the food chain a starting point. Oh well back to the waveform, or should I just through on the legalizer and call it a day? ;-(
