zorro Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Dears all, I have a film divided in 7 reels . Reel 1 @ 01 00 00 00 - Reel 2 @ 02 00 00 00 etc. The Logic TC match the Movies TC . So : i have bounced an audio file on reel 3 @ 03024325 = Wav-Timestamp. That's good if i try to place at the original position in Logic all is fine the file is matching the perfect place. So the problem : the file must be imported in Pro Tools so i import the file and try to match original timestamp position and get in the spot dialog Original Time Stamp Out of Range. Appreciate any help !!!! -Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 What are your sync settings in Logic (Bar 1 1 1 1 starts at SMPTE ? ? ? ? )? Did you use an SMPTE offset? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zorro Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 Yes, i am using a relative offset to match the reels tc as usual. -Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Well that would explain it. If you use an offset you're not timestamping the file at the displayed timestamp. Don't use an offset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zorro Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 Sorry David, but i need time stamp and the file is "timestamped". Maybe is not clear. If i got reel 5 starting @ 05 00 00 00 i need to match the same tc in Logic. Btw, i've solved. If i have a Logic session starting (and matching) Reel 5 @ 05 00 00 00 and i have a midifile and audiofile @ 05 10 10 10 i have to do this : Export mf and audio. Open PT-> import mf and audio file. Mf is on the right place -> audio file need to be spotted. Create offset in PT. Load video. It's ok. MF and Audio file is exactly where have to be. It's a PT 8.1 issue or wathever or i don know but if i do in this way all is fine. Thanks -Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzfilth Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I assume you figured it out already ? Only to repeat what David said - don't use an offset. Ever. I wish they would drop the Offset command from Logic. And from ProTools. It creates so many headches and problems. Usually because it's invisible once activated. Work in the project just one hour and you've forgotten you set it and bam, you step in the trap. Handing over a project with an offset active to someone else is a sure way to earn some really bad karma. It's so infinitely easy to adjust the actual TC of Logic or ProTools, and it will be always visible where you really are, on the screen, on an attached video tape, on an attached TC-driven mix automation, etc.etc. Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zorro Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 Excuse me, so you suggest to move the movie and related audio tracks in a real TC in Logic ? On the paper : do i have manually move the (for example) reel 6 to a 06 00 00 00 in Logic without modifying the Logic offset ? -Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzfilth Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Let the Project for reel 6 begin at 1.1.1.1 = 6:00:00:00 so it plays correctly without offset. Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
