Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Sorenson 6 TimeCode Filter what is source timecode?

I'm actually curious about this as well. Having to export anything from
Avid w/ TC burn-in takes up too much time. We have the option of using
Squeeze, but It always starts at 01;00;00;00 and at the very beginning of
the export. This doesn't really help when you've got a slate on every
single export you do. Is there any way of making this work for us in
Squeeze? We don't really have much of at this point in the production.
