Graeme Nattress Needs To Make This Plug-In

With the advent of FCP5 and the MultiCam utility there is one big problem--still no good
way to sync cameras besides old schooling it with a clapper board, like the 1920's.

It's a very simple matter to buy a TC generator (like Denecke SB-2a @ $400) and run
cables to your DVX100's, XL2's, et al and record that TC signal to one of the cameras
audio channels.

The missing link is a plug-in to convert that audio signal back into a TC signal that FCP can
interpret. Having this "missing link" would make a much more functional FinalCutPro.

So, if you think you could use this feature, please let Graeme know.
He's here, watching.
 
I don't think FCP has the hooks in it's API to be able to do that :-( Nice idea though. I've always done things old school with the clapper....

And running Tc to an audio channel does not guarantee sync either as the time base for each camera can still drift since there is no black burst shared between camera servos so if the TC drifts, you'll have the same problems that you would without it.
