Another example of why friends don't let friends edit in 720P. ;-)
Just a few weeks back I posted on an XDCam project they decided to shoot 720P which broke the ability to import the proxies because Avid sees the mpeg 4 video as SD and therefore interlaced while the XDCam 50 Mbits high rez is seen as 60 frame Progressive. So in order to bring in the proxy video we had to switch to 720 29.97P project and then switch to a 720P 59.94 project to import the High Rez 50 Mbit video. As a result I found no way to relink from proxy video to the high rez video which blows the whole offline online process to Hell. No one has told me a way to make that work.
I think there may be something of the legacy NTSC 24 Avid project where it thinks everything came off a tape that had telecine add 2:3 pulldown and that there is no such thing as a 24 frame tape source so it counts everything in the 30 frame skipping time code synonymous with those types of projects.

The result is the selection of a puzzling 19 frames (rather than the correct result of 24).
then I get the result I expect: a selection of 1:01 (the inclusive frame is as designed).

I'll poke around a bit more and seewhat might fix this. Thanks for the suggestions… I'll let you know.Cheers,-BOn Oct 6, 2015, at 11:50 PM, Michael Brockington <mbrock321@gmail.com> wrote:From film composer days, I seem to remember the quick transition dialog used whatever format was set in the top display in your sequence monitor. So if you were set to feet and frames up there, that's what you'd see in the quick transition.
I would guess you're set to display 35mm 4-perf, yet you seem to be showing timecode rather than feet/frames, so that's puzzling. Can you change the the topmost sequence timecode display to something else, ie. sequence TC 24 or something similar?
