Got bit by an unpleasant bug today.
I used QTChange to add TC to 23.98 5D/7D Quicktime files. I assigned
timecode to match the .THM file, with a reelname from the enclosing
foldername.
After running QTChange the timecode display in Quicktime player shows
the first frame of a sample clip has non-drop timecode 12:29:40:14.
If imported the old-fashioned way into Avid, the start timecode shows as
12:29:40:13. OK -- I'm not sure why there's a 1 frame discrepancy, but
that's pretty close.
Unfortunately, if I bring the quicktimes into Avid via AMA, then the
start TC reads 13:00:54:18. Now I am sad...
I need to pull an EDL from a bunch of 5D clips that I brought in via
AMA. Anyone else run into this problem?
If anyone (Bouke, Avid AMA folks?) wants to look at the problem, I have
a couple seconds of an offending quicktime I can email -- only about 5MB.
Cheers,
--Michael
