Hi
I am having some issues with a conform test on scratch cine, it was a 2 camera shoot, one seemingly recording time of day and one recording edge code, I know they still record both, but I mean what the proxies were showing me, I took all the raw through red rushes and selected time of day code for all rushes, and edited with that, I first did a test in crimson to test its ability to conform, and after many tears the penny dropped and I understood crimson and it worked, and now I decided to run it through the scratch cine box, and it conforms b cam just fine (displaying the time of day code), but when it hits any A cam footage it slots the shoot in but pulls it all the way back to the start of the clip, the code displayed in scratch is the edge code for these shots, and the code in the edl is the time of day code, so my question is how do I conform something like this, and where do I switch the way scratch reads the codes, to add to confusion there are a couple of a camera shots that have come through red rushes with the edgecode attached to them, this does my head in, out of maybe 30 a camera cuts 2 of them are in the right place? anyone know how that could have happened? also as my scratch is brand new I am guessing I have to install quicktime in order to be able to bring in a quicktime offline movie to check my edit, problem is my scratch box is not hooked to the net and my computer that is online is a mac, is there a way I can override the settings on the quciktime site so I can download the pc version. And one last thing, crimson didnt seem to have the problem with the conform that scratch is having, is this because a xml is a smarter way to conform and will scratch have xml support in the future.
Thanks
Also is there a manual for scratch cine or is it just the manual for scratch, and if so is there some papers on how to process red via scratch cine?
