Using TIMECODE as a Wedding Filmmaker

Timecode is the least talked about topic amongst wedding filmmakers but I promise this is a game changer if you're externally recording or using multiple cameras. Timecode speeds up your editing workflow and guarantees a perfect sync every time. Be on the lookout for a beginners guide video on using timecode soon. If you have any questions as always leave them in the comments below.

Check out the description for a few awesome timecode generators. I use the Ultrasync one but there’s so many flavors of timecode you really can’t go wrong.

THIS. IS. BY. FAR. THE. BEST. INFORMATIONAL. VIDEO. THAT. YOU. WILL. NEED. FOR. SYNCING. AUDIO.

Justin and I are homies. Both named Justin. Similar logos. BUT I have never found a greater video that shows why timecode matters SO MUCH.

As a film maker who has created multiple multi cam interview projects, had trouble syncing, and switched to timecode with my latest THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW. Nothing pisses me off more than audio not syncing (maybe when Adobe randomly crashes equals my pissed off level).

Time is money. Your time is valuable. Quicker workflow = Ability to create more = More Money.

not going to lie man --- you may have energized me for another year. I have been filming weddings full time since 2017. I am burnt out and ready for a change. There are a million people who can film beauty shots and put them together. But this is a game changer. I filmed a wedding tonight and although I don't have all this gear I used my rode wireless pro and put it on the groom and just filmed for like 25 mins. I filmed him helping his guys get ready, him interacting with the kids in the area. Then I did the same with the bride. We will see how it comes out. But this could be the thing that really gets me out of a rut. Brides hire me because they want the beauty shots and the slow music and everytime I try to step out and do something creative they ask me for edits. maybe I need to start a entirely different company and shoot and edit this way and keep my other for the beauty shot slow mo stuff.

Thanks for ALWAYS getting questions answered. You’re Awesome. Quick PSA ( Not necessarily for you because I’m sure you already know… Lol) but for others with a Zoom F6. i’m always worried about the DJ or anyone else accidentally stopping the recording during a ceremony, reception etc. and I finally figured out where the button lock function is on the Zoom F6. if you press in and hold the headphone volume knob, that will lock all buttons and FYI everyone!😃
BTW… CONGRATS on hitting 8k subs!!!

Funny fact, someone posted one of your videos on one of my country photographer's facebook groups saying that you look so professional. I took a look to se what is this all about and now I've already watched a few hours of your videos, also turned on the time code for my camera and made some test to see if the sync works fine. Can't wait the next wedding to test the sync, I was rly upset about the fact that not all the clips were synced by waveform.
Looks like I found a new preferred mentor.
Thanks for all the information.

This is so inspiring, i have been struggling with 12 Tascam DR10l with 3 non stop talk show with multiple people, mannnn I almost gave up it was so draning . Im putting myself into timecode this year because of you brother. Much love from France

[optimotiontv]

Ahh. I learned timecode today! What an amazing tool for our industry. I'll definitely be incorporating it very soon. Glad I came across your channel from TikTok. Amazing work you do!

[UnwantedParadise]

Your videos are so inspiring to me! I think you've really revolutionised the way a wedding should be shot and you should be hugely hugely proud of that. You've inspired me to finally make a long wanted change away from corporate advertising filming into the wedding space. I've booked my first wedding for July 16th and I'm super excited to put to use some of the stuff you've been talking about.

[aldelcy]

Knocked it out of the park again my guy. Great job, thank you for the amazing tip. Game changer.

[TheAutomotiveDP]

Here to support the boy! Timecode is king always, the sped up workflow is just that much better

[edmundarmah]

You're such a good teacher. Thank you very much for this. I am now considering learning Davinci and using it

[jmsdfilms]

Justin! This is a game changer! I would love to see how you sync each camera. Great work my brother! Keep at it!

[ablettman]

Thanks so much, never used time code before but you have me excited to try it out

[Covenantprezi]

You’re a blessing man. Give thanks! 👊🏽

[MisterMotion]

I do professional lighting design, and when I went to TC it changed my game also! great video!

[MSSTNE]

just what i was looking for, thank you for sharing.

[cayliegracefilms]

Sold!! I literally just ordered a complete timecode system that I’m going to start incorporating. Got the Tentacle Syncs and the Track E’s. I’m thinking about switching over from Premiere as well. We will see how this year goes.

[angelocreatesone]

dope video! im jumping on that timecode forsure.

[Vatziubeuca]

I’m curious, how did you manage to sync the mics from the bride to the camera? Also, what kind of mic did you choose for this particular project?

[Broadfit]

Can you please make a video on how to get audio this clear please 🙏
