Hi Rick - and other TIGers,
As we mostly know, there are good reasons for most of the practices you
mention, and it's unlikely that there would be a standard procedure that
would suit everyone's requirement. For one simple instance, reelwise
timecoding, (01:00:00:00, 02:00:00:00 etc) is useful for some operations,
while continuous coding useful for others. You can offset successfully, IF a
transfer report includes reel lengths, AND IF there are no frames lost at
the reel changes. Big IFs.
But I reckon it's a good idea to seek some standardisation, or at least
rationalisation for the various practices. At least, clear information -
e.g. is the magic timecode referenced to PIC START, 2-pip, or first frame of
program (often a fade from black??).
I'm watching with interest for further input.
