Re: [Avid-L2] Exporting WAV files with sequence time code from Avid 8.5.2?

 

You could use the free Wave Agent utility from Sound Devices to change the start timecode of your WAV files. Though standard WAV files imported and saved in Wave Agent get converted to Broadcast WAV files with metadata in the file's header. 


If I'm understanding you query, Wave Agent will do what you need. A useful tool.

Mac and Windows. More info, link to app and manual here:

I rarely export audio files from Avid other than the stems I receive from Protools in the form of a .mov delivery file that has Audio and Video.  Today I'm generating a DPX test sequence and the request from the facility was for WAV files.  This is a different facility than the one I posted about a few weeks back.  I'm going to give them .mov mono stems as well as wav files.  I noticed that the wav files I export as mono tracks from the final sequence end up with 00:00:00:00 start timecode and not the sequence timecode.  With the .mov audio files the sequence time code is maintained in the resulting file.  Is there a way to export WAV files that will have embedded time code that matches the sequence time code?  

I tried using QT change but these are wav not .mov files so that didn't work.  I even tried changing the extension to .mov on the wav files to see if I could trick QT Change but I got an error when it tried to change and add a new time code time.  Not surprising but I thought I'd give it a shot.  

Is Avid just lame when it comes to WAVs?  Clearly ProTools generate wavs with proper time code.  I don't see any obvious settings that would effect time code on the exported files.  Am I missing something obvious?
