TimeTools (OSX)

Product Overview

The software is designed to allow users to integrate multiple semi-pro camcorders with no timecode facilities, into a fully synchronised multicam workflow for Final Cut Pro - it does this by allowing users to record audio LTC onto an audio channel of the camcorder, which TimeTools then decodes into a QuickTime timestamp, after the material is transferred into Final Cut.

Following the 'TimeTools process', all the QuickTime movies will have coherent timestamps to match shots. In addition, the captured video material will have timestamps matching audio you might have recorded, with a timecoded multichannel audio recorder such as Metacorder.

TimeTools has revolutionised techniques for reality TV production using camcorders like Panasonic AG-DX100A, and Canon XL1, and offers the same flexibility in the future for low cost HDV camcorders which will be used for next generation Hi Definition reality TV shows.
