On the PC the stuff from Hdcinematics would do (and many others). To batch insert TC I'd suggest EditReady or Mp4toQT (both can also do the re-wapping) on the Mac. Or you can put them in manually in either program and use that effort for organizing at the same time. But in Resolve (not in Premiere) you can generate metadata in many ways from variables (check the manual) too. Reel/tape names can be generated from date of origin, so at least the files are 'individualized' instead of many of them looking the same to the NLE. BTW, my favorite tool for waveform syncing is PluralEyes. TC can be generated from the time of origin of the file, which is not precise enough for syncing, but good enough for getting in the ballpark. What I suggest then is adding the missing data. ![]() Not all versions of MP4 can hold such data, but MOV can, so re-wrap to MOV if needed (or transcode, if your system stutters on H.264). Plus, generate reel names, which are called tape names in Pro or FCP, but it's the same field of metadata. If not (all your original clips start with 00:00:00:00 in the NLE), just put some fake TC in. Sometimes hard to find, in particular on Sony menus… Even some 'amateur' stills cameras with video capabilities have it, but often buried deep in the menus. So, let's get to the trouble with TC and reel/tape name. ![]() Actually, a happy amateur (which literally means something like lover) is what I am when making private projects (albeit lucky enough to have access to pro gear most times). I didn't want to put down any amateur as a person, just hinting on problems with amateur gear. I would appreciate understanding more about how to check reel name and TC so that EDL export can work properly. I'll probably do it differently next time with better gear. I did slate everything so could have sync'd by in/out points but it was just faster to sync by audio. PP could sync my 3 cameras and audio via waveform to create a multicam clip and Resolve could not. That's the reason I used PP in the first place. This was my first serious shoot and because it was low budget, I did not use gear that can generate or sync with timecode. There is still much to understand with video. I put myself in that category for video, even though I've been a successful still photographer for years. we were all amateurs/beginners at one point. I'll color code the clips and then create clip groups for editing. Not perfectly, because the thumbnails on the timeline in Resolve don't really match up to what's in the program viewer, but it's a minor issue. ![]() I flattened the multicam sequence in PP and tried again with EDL export/import and it worked.
