Dual System Sound - Digital Video

Camera Setup

• Format the memory card before recording.
• Use only the T2i model camera for shooting with the 1920x1080 30 fps setting.
• The 1280 x 720 setting records at 60 fps which does not work with the Merge Clips function of Final Cut Pro.
• It is recommended to record a "scratch" audio track on the T2i as a backup.
• The camera audio is sometimes 1-2 frames out of sync from the video.

Audio Recorder Setup

• Audio Recorder needs to be set to 48kHz sample rate.
• 24 bits is recommended.

Slating

• There needs to be an audio and visual sync point at the beginning and /or end of each clip.
• Use a clapperboard or clap your hands.
• On the clapperboard write the production name, scene and take.
