I use multiple cameras and audio devices for recording. 1. Sync the clock on each device to the correct second. Now the creation TOD is approximately correct. 2. Use Wave Agent software to convert the wav file to bwf (with an embedded TC) using the date of creation. 3. Use QtChange or iTimeize to add TC information to the mov files. BTW on a mac, Cineform does NOT seem to be embedding TC using the creation TOD while converting files.

Now bring in these files into your FCP timeline and use the timeline tools for organizing your footage.

Select all the clips in the timeline. The use “Sequence” -> “Nest Items”. Click OK. Now you can apply an effect to all these clips at once. Now go to “Video filters” -> “Video” -> “Timecode generator” Now the timecode is burnt onto the footage. Lets see if FCP read it off the bwf files as well.

Now there may be drift in your footage. But the drift is only of the order of a few seconds. Its a simple matter syncing either your eye+ear or using Pluraleyes.

Anything else I need to add ?
