Re: [Avid-L2] Can't Import a ProTools AAF into Resolve but can into Avid?

Another curious thing is that I also have wav files from ProTools that are 16 frames too short that have time code starting at 24:00:00:00 according to Resolve but they start at 00:00:00:00 in Avid. 

Open one of the Wave's in WaveAgent.
Then look at the Samples Since Midnight.
For TC 00:00:00:00, it should be 1, NOT zero.
But, don't worry about TC for BWF too much, as it is only a rounded representation of the actual value, that is human readable.
Any half decent system uses the SAM value to place the clips at the correct position.
(Sam = TC for audio, where a frame is a sample, so TC 00:00:01:00 corresponds with 48001 for a 48 Khz clip in 24 or 25 fps)

The rounding / off by one often goes wrong. (Premiere is really bad at this, I haven't toyed with Resolve.)

But again, the display is the least of your worries.
