What is timecode sync? Timecode is an important form of production metadata, which if used correctly can save productions time and money. The theory is simple. Each frame recorded is assigned a specific timecode, allowing editors to find a particular frame across multiple camera and audio sources by referencing this number. If each camera and audio device on a shoot is running timecode, this allows all sources to be synced and the data can then easily be dropped into the edit timeline and automatically aligned.

According to Dr. Mednick, this is where longer naps of 60 minutes or so can come in handy, increasing that cognitive power again. Mednick also states that the 90-minute nap will likely involve a full cycle of sleep, which aids creativity and emotional and procedural memory, such as learning how to ride a bike.
