Video chasing time code

[craigw]

Hi,

Has anyone used Isadora with a video clip that timecode to chase LTC coming from Protools system?

Hi,

Sorry that no-one has commentated here. 

I am not sure about LTC, I know isadora can read MTC (MIDI TIME CODE) can protools output that? If so have a look at the MTC Reader actor in Isadora.

Hope this helps for now.

You can use lockstep to convert ltc to MTC, it is 20 bucks. From there you can check position of the movie and sync it to MTC

hallo.

is there a version for the win world too?
or is it another way which is only for apple users.
if someone knows a reliable mtc generator software for win, please tell us.

thx

Do you need to start with ltc? You can generate mtc from most daws. There are also a lot of hardware ltc to mtc boxes like this http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=161765936478&globalID=EBAY-AU&alt=web

Thanks for the info.

 I tested all this a while back and I for found that the MTC Movie locker didn't run the video at full speed. The video was a little stepped and audio stopped outputting. If I take Izzy out of chase mode video looks fine and audio is present.

Still useable for non critical video.

Here's the setup.

Also, It's not 100% chasing. If I drag LTC around the video never chases. It's more of a time code triggering start and stop.

It's still a good and useable tool, though.

Now that the movie player can run in a time code is this the best practice for locking to time code? 

MTC Reader - Timecode Calculator - Movie Player (timecode mode/ 0 play speed)  position - Contrast Adjust - user actor with 5 projectors with several izzy mapped sections. 

I am unfortunately experiencing frequent crashes when jumping around in rehearsal

hi Cristopher (not by accident Christopher from Qlab?) What is the main timecode source? Is the frame rate the same as the video framerate?

@barneybroomer Apologies for the delay.  I had my notifications set incorrectly.  Time code source is Midi Time Code from Qlab.  The system is disassembled now, but I believe we were matching appropriately.
