#tictacsync

What do you notice, video editors? (apart from my Mac mini 2014 which has trouble scrubbing video)

Ans.: each clip audio is identical for the overlapping region so the rolling edit doesn't change the resulting background audio no matter which cut you choose!

#atomicsynchronator #tictacsync

Those "_ISO" directories have been produced by the tictacsync command called with the --isos flag.

They contain mix track and so called "ISO files" (short for isolated tracks, one file for each channel=track). They have been synced (padded or trimmed) and merged to the same video clip (referenced by the directory name, found before the "_ISO" suffix); they can be remixed again and then remerged to the video clip with the command remergemix. The ISO wav files were named according to tracks.txt, filled in by the sound recordist for logging tracks use, prior to executing the tictacsync command.

Both the video clip and the directory must not be renamed to preserve the information linking them. If you need to rename the clip, use the special command renameclip, it will update the directory name too (for robustness spaces or special characters are not allowed).

The folder can be moved anywhere in the filesystem but should stay near their respective video clip for speeding up recursive search when executing the remergemix command.

If no mix-down were done on set (so, absent from tracks.txt) a rough mix was done programmatically and called mono_mix.wav (or Lmix.wav and Rmix.way if LR tracks were specified). Those tracks constitute the audio stream merged to the video clip, initially by the tictacsync command and then eventually by the remergemix command.

To check for name collision (i.e., different clips with same names) duration and parent directory are considered.

screen grab of this text:

This configuration file is edited by you.
It is used with multi track audio recorders for specifying channel contents.

Note: the words "channel" and "track" are used interchangeably.

Each line contains the description of the track content:
- first valid line => content of channel #1
- 2nd valid line => content of channel #2
Everything after a # in ignored.

Some 5 examples for the impatients (remove leading # to activate them)

##################### a 4 tracks recorder:
TC # time code on track 1
0 # ignore track 2
L mic # stereo pair on tracks 3 and 4
R mic
##################### a 8 tracks recorder:
L mix # stereo mix-down on track 1 and 2
R mix
TC # time code on track 3
0 # ignore track 4
L mic A # stereo pair A on tracks 5 and 6
R mic A
L mic B # stereo pair B on tracks 7 and 8
R mic B

Format:
- everything after a # in ignored
- the number of lines must correspond to the number of tracks
- stereo channel specifications with letters L and R must be typed first, as in:
- L mic, R mic, L mix, R mix
- the character ";" is used as a delimiter and is followed by an integer number
specifying the eventual lag in milliseconds for this particular channel.
- one line must contain the token "TC" and identify the timecode channel (consistency check)
- 0 is used to ignore a specific channel
- case is ignored
- filenames are built replacing spaces by "_" when the --isos flag is set
