Live logger not bringing Ipad Timecode into Prelude

Same here. The metadata from the file is correct (I verified the times in notepad) but prelude does not interpret it correctly.

I  am also having a problem with the Apply to button, both options are greyed out. I've tried all options to get it to function correctly with no luck

coletech,

The Apply to: buttons will both be greyed out if

1. you don't have a clip open on the timeline
   • the "Open Clip" button requires a clip to be open in Monitor/Timeline
2. AND no clips are selected in the project panel

Try opening your clip on the timeline and change Apply markers at to Current Player Position. Place your CTI at the location of your first marker (minus your PLL preroll time) then Apply to Open Clip.

The times on the logged clips as reported in the dialog are incorrect. The logs span 8+ hours of footage in many clips.

Do all the clips need to be on the timeline?

Since the timecode on the clips and the logged metadata don't match, will it work at all?

You can apply a single long log to multiple clips selected in the project panel IF you log with a timecode syncing device from Ambient Recording or Timecode Buddy.

We are investigating the time of day timecode complaint.

If the timecode doesn't match and you have the clip open on the timeline, you can place the CTI at the location of the first good marker and apply from there regardless of what the time values of the markers say in the Unassociated Metadata panel.

Is there a way to re-write the header of the xml to make the program believe it was using external TC?

I have a TC buddy but it wouldn't work with the app (see other post)

I have 8+ hours of logs using Ipad clock that was within a second of the TC time of day free run TC on the clips.

I'd love to use the ipad clocked logs with the 118 clips in the project

smith.c.m and coletech,

I'm shooting you two an email, we would like to see your XMP and TXT files to use in our testing of this issue. Keep an eye out. Thanks!

any solution to this problem yet team?

A new update for Live Logger was posted right before the holdays.  Update to version 1.1 of Prelude Live Logger and version 2.2 of Prelude.  The updated versions will create and import time code correctly.

Thanks!

Michael Lewis

Both apps are those versions...

And you are still not getting the correct time code from the iPad with logs created in Live Logger 1.1?  We'll look into it again.    Thanks!

The logs are written at the correct time but will only sync 1 clip at a time and only when start at playback position is selected. Any help appreciated.

Hi -

To sync to multiple clips at one time, please do the following steps:

1. Multi-select the clips that you want to sync to in the project panel

2. Check the markers in the "Unassociated Metadata" panel

3. Select "Marker Start Time" for "Apply markers at"

4. Click "Selected Clips"

Please let me know if it helps.

Thanks,

Ada

that has been what I have been attempting but it has yet to work. thanks

Are you getting any messages in the events panel after you try to sync using the steps from the previous reply?  If there are messages about the operation you have performed, a "!" Icon will be displayed in the bottom right corner of the Prelude application window.  Clicking on that icon opens the panel. If there are messages displayed there, can post the message?  Thanks!

there is no message. there is no action. it only works if I select a one clip and choose put markers at current playhead

If possible, could you send us your XMP file and the clips? I would like to try it on our side. Please reach me at weiwang@adobe.com to get our file server info.

Thanks,

Ada

hmm. I’m at my cabin and the internet is probably too slow to get you those clips in any decent timeframe.

perhaps there is a way to ingest footage with the time of capture attached that I’m not doing or something?

Can you post or send a screen video of your issue to us? We'd like to see if we can find any clue.

Thanks!

I think I may have  found it! you need to set the timecode record settings on the camera (I was using a 5D) as soon as my small child goes to  sleep I will test it. Thanks so much for everyone’s help.

ok still not working. where can I send the 3 clips and the xmp to?

thanks

I have fixed the timecode on the camera so that it matches up with the iPad but they still won’t sync

Yep figured it out. You need to ensure your timecode settings on the 5d are set to:

Count up - free run

Start time setting - set to camera time

Movie rec count - time code

Movie play count - time code

Now if only you could do this in premiere and skip the prelude step...

Thanks again for you help and patients.
