Editing Multitrack Recordings
To edit Multitrack recordings without listening to all of them just Mute the Tracks and Hide them. All edits per-
formed on the remaining visible one will still occur on all others and only the audio from the visible one will be
played back for monitoring. (E.g. a stereo guide mix)
Film 24 to NTSC Sync
Here are some settings for the most common Scenarios for Film 24 to NTSC Sync. Presets for all of these can be
found in Settings > All Settings > Hardware > Formats & Sync.
Mix/Editing for TV shot in NTSC and 48 kHz and edited in sync with NTSC equipment:
• Set the Frame Rate to NTSC Drop
•Set the Video Format to NTSC
• Set the Sampling Rate to 48 kHz
• Set the Varispeed to Nominal
Result: FR = 29.97 SR = 48000 Video Input = 29.97 (Standard for TV, Audio at 48kHz in sync with 29.97 while Shoot-
ing, Post and Diffusion)
Mix/Editing for Film shot at 24 fps and 48kHz but edited in sync with NTSC equipment:
• Set the Frame Rate to Film (24 fps)
•Set the Video Format to NTSC
• Set the Sampling Rate to 48 kHz
• Set the Varispeed to Pull-Down
Result: FR = 23.98 SR = 47952 Video Input = 29.97 (Standard for Film, Audio at 48kHz in sync with Film 24fps for
Shooting and Diffusion, but at 47952 in sync with 29.97 for the Post with Film 24 running at 23.98)
Mix/Editing for Film shot at 24 but converted 3:2 to 30 frames and edited in sync with NTSC
equipment:
• Set the Frame Rate to SMPTE Non-Drop
•Set the Video Format to NTSC
• Set the Sampling Rate to 48 kHz
• Set the Varispeed to Pull-Down
Result: FR = 29.97 SR = 47952 Video Input = 29.97 (Standard for Film, Audio at 48kHz in sync with Film 24fps for
Shooting and Diffusion, but at 47952 in sync with 29.97 for the Post with Film converted to 30 running at 29.97)
Special case:
Mix/Editing for Film shot in High Def at 23.98 fps and 48kHz and edited in sync with HD NTSC
equipment like D5 or other:
• Set the Frame Rate to 23.98
• Set the Video Format to Trilevel 24/1.001
• Set the Sampling Rate to 48 kHz
• Set the Varispeed to Nominal
Result: FR = 23.98 SR = 48000 Video Input = 23.98 (For Film shot in HD 23.98, Audio at 48 kHz sync with Film 23.98
while Shooting and Post. Caution: The Audio needs a Pull-Up to run in sync with the Film if printed a real Roll)
