Alternatively, you can place your Movie at the head of the session, and set up a Bar|Beat "point of origin" so that
Bar 1, Beat 1 lines up to the start of picture by using Edit>Identify Beat. This allows you to use the Movie as
"Master," and everything before your start time is a negative "count down" bar. If your Movie is conformed, and you
have it start at an even second boundary, you can easily move along the timeline of your Movie when you're in
Minutes/Seconds Grid mode.
What About "Laying Back" My Audio to QuickTime Video?
Once you're done with your session, you can "lay back" to a QuickTime Movie by using the "Bounce to Movie"
feature from the Movie menu. Or, you can work the your favorite video application to do more editing work in the
video domain. Just bounce down your audio as a "flattened file," then import it into your video app. Make sure that
there is audio from the "beginning of time" (or where ever you want to place it). You can use a "reference 2 pop" at
the audio start to line up with the picture within your video editing application.
Pro Tools LE Time Code Q & A Index | All FAQ Index
[3597]
Does Pro Tools LE Support Time Code?
Yes, you can work with SMPTE time code in Pro Tools LE. If you're new to the world of Digidesign's new Pro Tools
LE/001 or AM III ToolBox systems, you may have heard some rumors that you can't work with SMPTE time code
with Pro Tools LE. This isn't true, you can! If you're starting out, and are not sure if you need to work with SMPTE
time code, let's consider what you might need to do:
1) You might want to lock up your Pro Tools LE system to a tape machine or video deck.
2) You might want to work with a video source (like a video deck or QuickTime Movie) and "spot" your effects or
other audio elements to a specific location in the picture.
If you don't need to do either of these things, then locking to external time code isn't something you need to be
concerned about.
While it's true that there is no SMPTE time code *ruler* or Spot dialog for time code (you'll find these in Pro Tools
TDM systems, which are focused towards post professionals), Pro Tools LE works just fine for most any basic tasks
when locking to external time code with audio or video decks, or working to picture with QuickTime Movies or even
spotting events to video decks.
