Not sure if this is the best forum for this question.. but I'm a SPC, so it'll do :)
I've currently in the middle of a project that requires a lot of interviews. I've been using two cameras for each interview, mainly to give me more options in post; my JVC HM600 (medium close up) and Canon XA10 (close up). They match surprisingly well with a bit of basic colour grading.
To this point I've been ignoring timecode and just sticking the CU over the top of the MCU on my timeline, and syncing the audio manually.
Doing it this way is obviously time consuming. Does anyone have any better suggestions? I've read you can sync timecode between some cameras, but I assume they have to be the same brand/model.
Is there any way to sync timecode between non-matching cameras? Or any other methods that might help me out?
Thanks in advance.
