DEF

A dedicated track for synchronization pulses or timecode.

OBS

synchronization pulses: Pulses needed by video source equipment for accurate video signal timing.

OBS

timecode : Generally refers to the industry standard of SMPTE(Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) timecode, which is formatted as four numbers separated by colons(e. g., 21 : 52 : 31 : 20). The numbers represent hours, minutes, secondes, and frames, and are added to video to enable precise editing. Since color video runs at 29. 97 fps [frames per second] instead of 30 fps, two kinds of timecode have evolved : drop-frame and non-drop-frame.

OBS

cue channel: term linked with the conception and development of large-format film technology.

DEF

when editing videotape, the process of recording the selected sections of tape straight on to the master. This is done after the off-line edit.

CONT

Off-line editing techniques. One way of approaching production editing is to arrive at the videotape channel armed with notes made during the recording session, review the program, dubbing it progressively(with experimentation), until a new composite videotape is obtained-the ’edited master tape’. But this on-line editing technique uses costly facilities and personnel for considerable periods. The regular solution is to make an identical copy of the program on a portable VTR, during taping or by transfer afterwards. This workprint has a time-code/address code burned-in(i. e. visible in picture-Fig. 12. 5), usually relating to clock-time during the recording period. The director can scrutinize this copy ’at leisure’, and referring to a take-sheet made during the production, use it to list the excerpting he requires, the exact edit points, transitions, etc. Later, at an editing session, the chosen address-coded edit points are used to guide the VT editor, or fed into VTR equipment processors for automated editing.

DEF

A method of editing and subsequently printing the picture information from two separate rolls of 16mm film to produce a composite print. Arranged and spliced together by the film editor in checkerboard fashion, the picture information in each roll, the A and the B, is reexposed by the laboratory on raw stock, thus producing a composite on one length of film.

DEF

Montage qui s'effectue de la manière suivante : au lieu de monter les différents plans dont se compose l'original en une seule bande, ainsi que cela se fait normalement, on monte les plans en deux bandes en collant, alternativement, les plans sur une bande puis sur l'autre. On obtient ainsi une bande A comportant tous les plans impairs et une bande B comportant tous les plans pairs. Sur chacune des bandes, la longueur correspondant aux plans manquants est remplacée par de l'amorce opaque.
