[Frameworks] editing basics for 16mm

[Bernard Roddy]

Have a lab scan your workprint, bring that into final cut, edit your sound track 
to match that, add a two-pop wherever, and export audio to a CD.  Have the neg. 
conformed to your print and send it with the CD to the lab for marrying optical 
track with image.

 Thanks for all that       Jason. I'll be speaking to the negcutter tomorrow so 
will go over       these things first thing before starting the edit.

I haven't seen the (SD) telecine yet but I asked for it to be       transferred 
to DVCAM with timecodes, so hopefully this will be       sufficient? (I'm not 
familiar with the "window-burn" term)

No soundtrack, which does simplify things a little!

Thanks again for flagging those points,

Best,

Sarah
