Abstract: Many motion-picture productions now use multiple cameras running simultaneously to obtain different viewpoints of the same events. In other productions, the synchronization of picture and sound is guaranteed by time-code techniques rather than the conventional slating. Both approaches commonly cause problems at the editing table, but practical solutions have now been worked out. The problem of editing multiple-camera films is overcome by cutting together scenes from two of the cameras by using a two-picture, two-soundtrack editing table; scenes from the third and subsequent cameras can then be cut in in the same way. The problem of picture/sound synchronization may be dealt with by an IRT-Munich technique of optically marking - on both picture area and soundtrack — coded information (using an 8-4-2-1 binary-coded-decimal code) giving at one-second intervals the exact time (second, minute, hour, day, month and year) and camera identification. Increased ease and speed of editing are assured.
