what is a timecode
What is timecode sync? Timecode is an important form of production metadata, which if used correctly can save productions time and money. The theory is simple. Each frame recorded is assigned a specific timecode, allowing editors to find a particular frame across multiple camera and audio sources by referencing this number. If each camera and audio device on a shoot is running timecode, this allows all sources to be synced and the data can then easily be dropped into the edit timeline and automatically aligned.
