1. Sync wild auxiliary backup sound onto 1/4" timecoded
audio track and erase old production audio so that the 1/4" is in
half track mode. This first step is only necessary in the event
anything went wrong with your primary production audio, whether
single system or double system. Paul Gibbons, using an
oscilloscope, developed this amazing technique that works
perfectly.
2. Check the 1" and the 3/4" tapes to verify that they have
proper timecodes.
3. Layback all 1/4" sound onto 3/4" video cassettes (and
onto the 1" if feasible at the time).
4. Edit the beginning of the show, including the titles, at
a 3/4" studio with: 3- VTRs, 2 - TBCs, 1- editing system, 1-
video board including a luminance keyer and a colorizer
(optional).
5. Edit the end titles at the same studio making sure that
these end titles are put on a separate cassette.
6. Finish editing the show onto the footage started in #4
above. This will give a 2G Master. (Cuts only system)
7. Add the end title piece to the 2G Master. (Cuts only
system) The tail piece with titles will be 3G.
8. Make a copy of the completed Master and burn the
timecode into the picture.
9. Blend walla and source music onto a cassette (or 1/4"
audio tape).
10. Re-record the blended track in #9 above onto the 2G
Master onto track 2 (thus erasing the timecode).
11. Pull demo tape copies from the 2G Master with the new
sound.
13. Make an edit list from the copy with the timecode burned
into the picture window.
14. The ideal scene is to simultaneously assemble the
timecoded 1" video tape and the 1/4" audio tape. Assemble the
1/4" onto a 16 track tape and while assembling the 1" key the
titles into the picture thus ending up with a 2G Master and a 16
track audio tape. If this is not possible, perform the following
steps:
15. Have a sweetening session.
16. Layback sweetened 16 trk onto the 1" Master.
17. Strike release tapes.
At this time non-linear systems, such as the AVID, are
becoming as standard as editing film on tape been for the past
several years.

technology, contact BackBone Enterprises at 800/576-2001.
You must use this exact program to complete your picture in
the tape universe if you originated on film (single system or
double system). Any other program will result in higher
expense.
