I think that could work. When I did my film using the SD burn in, it was
because the neg cutter insisted on a copy of the film with burn in to confirm
all the cuts she was to make. Also since I had a fair amount of film, it was
cheaper to do that and then just transfer to HD my timed print.
I suppose the man disadvantage of your approach is that you won't get the
benefit of actually timing your finished film for HD. You'll just have to time
the raw footage as best you can and tweak it with FCP's limited tools.
I used FCP & Cinema tools for my project a few years ago (I think it was FCP
v6). It worked nicely, but the main advice I have for you is to make sure your
final timeline has all the clips in one single line and that you use FCP's fade
and dissolve tools. I found that when I originally did my EDL export because I
had confusing, multi-layered & elaborate timeline (like all my video projects!)
that the EDL was missing things. But once simplified, it was frame accurate.

Subject: [Frameworks] 16mm --> HD --> 16mm
Calling all contemporary workflow afficionados!
I am working on a new 16mm project and considering making an
EDL from a telecine via Cinema Tools and FCP. From the EDL, I will cut my
negative and make a sound print
via A/B rolls.
This will be my first time using a telecine and Cinema Tools
to edit, and most of the information I’ve found involves a two-transfer
telecine process (all dailies in SD first then select shots from EDL in HD).
My shooting ratio is fairly low. I’d like to avoid
transferring twice and use my HD edit as my video master. So, if possible, I’d
like to just go ahead and transfer my rushes to HD Pro Res 24fps (no window
burn) with Evertz keylog file, edit in FCP, generate an EDL, and cut my
negative without running into any issues (3:2 pulldown or otherwise). Can any
of you foresee any problems with this simplified, online-all-the-time workflow?
Am I being naïve? I feel like this method could work for me
- the two transfer process seems designed for large-scale productions.
If any of you have worked this way or teach this workflow,
I’d surely appreciate any advice you can offer.
All the best,
Jodie Mack
