Chapter 11 Working With 24P Video and 24 fps EDLs 197
In most cases, once you are done editing, you will want to recapture the audio from the
original production tapes and finish it at an audio postproduction facility. The difficulty
is that the EDL from Final Cut Pro does not know the reel numbers and timecode of the
original production audio reels; it only has the videotape information. Since the
production audio recorder is started and stopped independently of the VTR, its
timecode will not match the VTR’s.
Using its database feature, Cinema Tools can match the edits using the videotape audio
with the original production audio tapes, and generate an audio EDL that can then be
used to recapture and finish the audio.
You must create a Cinema Tools database before you can use this feature. See “ Creating
a New Database ” on page 66 for details on creating a database and “ Exporting an
Audio EDL ” on page 161 for details on exporting an audio EDL from Cinema Tools.
