[Frameworks] 16mm print - help needed (Ireland)

[John Woods]

I don't know the full details but I recall reading somewhere that it is possible 
to retrieve an EDL from a digitally edited film with no keycode. As I recall if 
the transfer has an A Frame hole punch at the begining of the reel (which I 
believe is standard practice) you can use that to input edgecode into the NLE by 
hand inspecting the original film. Since you're in PAL land this might not be as 
complicated a procedure to do as it is for us NTSC sufferers. 


I havn't tried this myself but it might be worth researching before striking a 
workprint.

John

Hi Moira,
this situation arose in Paris recently.
A friend shot 16mm, did telecine, edited on computer and then wanted to conform 
the negative.
But she made the mistake of making a telecine without keycode, so she couldn't 
cut by edge-number.
We ended up printing workprint for all the rushes, cutting the workprint by eye 
with the video cut, and then cutting the negative on a synchronizer.
If she is coming to New York she could print all that at Metropolis and then cut 
the workprint at your place!
-Pip
