  1. KODAK KEYKODE NUMBERS The Essential Reference Guide for Filmmakers

  2. KEYKODE Numbers • Human-readable key numbers • Machine-readable KEYKODE numbers • These numbers provide a unique address for every frame • Used worldwide to save time and improve accuracy

  3. KEYKODE Numbers – Human-readable • Five Elements • Manufacturer’s code – K or E for Kodak • Film identification code • Prefix number • Footage count numbers • Zero-frame reference mark

  4. KEYKODE Numbers – Machine-readable Barcode Detail

  5. 35mm KEYKODE Numbers • Intermediate, mid-foot numbers • Useful for identifying very short scenes • Mid-foot key numbers are printed midway • between the main key numbers • Smaller font and +32

  6. 65mm KEYKODE Numbers • There are two intermediate-key numbers on 65mm • +40 perforations and +80 perforations

  7. 16mm KEYKODE Numbers • Same as 35mm except for the zero-frame reference dot • On 16mm it is above the film manufacturers’ letter

  8. Digital Readout • Logging the original film: • a KEYKODE reader on the film processor or bench reader is required • a database is accurately created for all subsequent editing and negative matching

  9. Digital Postproduction • KEYKODE technology has really made an impact in • digital postproduction: • Film is transferred on a telecine • KEYKODE Numbers are read and correlated with video time codes • Video and audio are digitized for nonlinear editing • An EDL is produced for the online auto conform

  10. KEYKODE Numbers and Time Code

  11. Edit Decision List (EDL) • Audio and video are • digitized for nonlinear • editing. • Editing system produces • an edit decision list - EDL

  12. Edit Decision List (EDL)

  13. Edit Decision List (EDL) – Film Cut List

  14. Negative Cutting and Conforming • KEYKODE numbers are printed directly from the camera original to the workprint • Neg cutters use these numbers to conform to the edited workprint

  15. Summary • Film is transferred on a telecine • KEYKODE numbers are read and correlated • A database is created that can remain with the production throughout its life • Video and audio are digitized for nonlinear editing • An EDL is produced • KEYKODE numbers have brought film origination and electronic post production much closer together.

  16. Conclusion • QUESTIONS?
