The Post transfer house, or assistant editors can use the Playback Timecode track as a "burn-in" reference window in their assembled sound and picture files (Avid or FCP). On the shooting day, I record my Music track (iso) on Track 7 and the Playback Timecode (iso) on Track 8.

You could also get Pro Tools to create a click track as well. You can then drag and drop or import the music file and Spot the start of music to the Hour mark. In ProTools open a New session and import the timecode wave file. I record about 8 minutes so I will have plenty of code. Let's say I want the first playback number to be Hour 1, so the recording would start at 00:59:30:00. I start the 'clock' 30 seconds before the hour. I decided to record them in Sound Studio as wave files so I could import them into any playback platform. I give each song a different starting hour so it will have a unique timecode for both the picture and sound editors. I use my GR-1 and I've created 15 timecode base tracks. First make sure your timecode frame rate is the correct rate you will be shooting your project. You can record the timecode track from any (professional) time code generator, a Denecke GR 1, or any recorder that can output accurate time code. Here is my method for creating Pro Tools Music Playback sessions (Thanks to Alex Lowe).
