Resolve reading mysterious timecode

Here’s the workflow, I’m cutting fast turn around short form tvcs and need to send them off to grade.
Sometimes coming from TBs of rushes, I want to use the new Premiere Pro project manager in 2014.1 to transcode to cineform media with handles on each clip because there is invariably client editorial changes in online.
I transfer to the colour grader via ftp 2GB of media managed clips in 20-30 minutes rather hard drives of rushes via courier etc. etc. etc.
Everything works great except for one problem. The TC that BMD resolve reads on those media managed clips is wrong. There is consistent timecode between the media managed clips in premiere and the edl used by the grader to conform the edit, the same correct timecode is also read on those same clips in QT7 and FCP7 (just checking the TC those two other applications).
But in resolve the timecode is offset by a random amount on each clip. First frame for clip one in the edl is asking for 10:13:59:18, the closest TC read by resolve in that clip is 10:17:11:08. Likewise for clip two is 02:22:03:22 and what is available is 02:24:41:08.
It’s a 25fps project and I’ve checked at each step of the process that this is always the timebase.
As Premiere, the edl, QT7, FCP7 are all reading the same TC, I believe the problem is with resolve but I can’t work out what it is. Any help, ideas, suggestions would be great.
Will cross post this issue across the BMD, creative cow & Adobe forums.
Cheers,
Rob

Since Resolve reads different timecode AND frame rate than Premiere, you have to conform the footage in Premiere Pro to match what Resolve reads.
Load the clips into resolve, find out what the starting timecode and frame rate is. Then go back to Premiere and (right click) Modify the time code and conform the frame rate (unless the frame rates are the same).
Then kick out an FCP XML. Load that into Resolve.
I had to do this recently with cine files from phantom footage. Complete nightmare. TC was off on every clip and some clips had different frame rates.

Speedgrade cc not reading avi timecode from avi created by premiere cc

timecode is selected to alwayas read. Quicktime works, why not avi?

Yes, is true, SpeedGrade doesn't read avi timecode. I don't understand why not

How to read embeded Timecodes

Hello,
i'm not sure if i should post this here or in the ActionScript 3.0 subforum but i hope it's alright
we're enconding a livestream from a webcam with FMLE 3.0. for our project we need to embed the system time as a timecode into the stream (no device timecode)
we need the system time to synchronize events to whatever happens on camera (somewhat like live subtitles)
the "subtitles" are written into an XML file and transmitted seperately, on the client they're supposed to be put together
everything else in the project works as it's supposed to except that we don't know how to receive the timing information needed for propper synchronisation
we tried various versions of this: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaLiveEncoder/3.0/Using/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11c10 4ba9cd-7ffe.html
onFI gives us problems, it's not defined and we can't find how it's supposed to be defined ... it seems to only work with device time codes
we also read something about AMF but we don't know how to apply that either
most of what we're able to find is about device time codes and doesn't seem to be usable with the embeded system time
could you point us in the post a solution to this problem or point us in the right direction?
we could also focus on a completely different solution, but we've no idea how else to solve this so if you have a better idea we would like to hear it.
thanks, Discord123

edit4: after various changes most works without error messages
the programm doesn't do what we want it to do though
we do have some concerns with i, the for loop, the info object and info.st
here is the onFi part,the whole timecode source can be found here: http://pastebin.com/39kMgXFb
function onFi(info:Object)
     trace("onFi works");
     var timecode:String; // Timecode generated by capture device
     var systemDate:String; // System date "sd" embedded by Flash Media Live Encoder
     var systemTime:String; // System time "st"embedded by Flash Media Live Encoder
     var i:String;
     trace("info" +info); //info displays "[object NetStream]"
     for( i in info)    //i is null, an object is compared to a string
      { trace("for");
        if(i == "st")
           {trace("if");
          systemTime = info.st //string formatted as hh:mm:ss.ms
      trace("st"+info.st); // causes error #1069: property st for flash.net.NetStream not found and no default value exists. at MethodInfo-626(), at MethodInfo-625()
      trace(systemTime);         //for now it just displays null

Thanks. In version 2.0 the address bar button does work. Problem is that visitors wont know that. Also, I have the same issue the message:
"This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below"
in IE on a PC. Can the XML file be altered post processing to get this to work? If not, I will have to pull the button out altogether, which is actually not such a bad idea since it's going to be awhile before we have enough students to add content to this page as frequently as a podcast warrants.
I was sooooo waiting for iLife 07 last week hoping that some of the quirks would be fixed and perhaps better features added. Last I read on ThinkSecret.com was that it may not be out till March due to some delays because of a major overhall. Maybe it will be worth the wait.

Premiere Pro CC won't read media source timecode?

We recently switched over some of our editing systems to Premiere Pro CC, but for some reason Premiere Pro CC isn't reading the timecode from our source footage. It works fine in CS6 and CS5, but on each of the CC systems, even though the timecode preference is set to "Use Media Source" the timecode that is displayed in the project window, the source window and even in the timeline with a timecode window effect added and set to media, the time code that is displayed starts from 0 as though it's set for "generate" or in preferences, "Start From 00:00:00:00."
All of our source footage is recorded on XDCam or DVCPro 100 and we've been using Premiere since CS5 without issue. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Can you upload a short clip somewhere for us to take a look at?
BTW, exactly which version of CC are you on?

After installing Mavericks (from Mountain Lion) on my iMac 20" mid 2007 I cannot read musical cd on the internal drive neither on external. No problems at all with my macbook air.

When I put a musical CD into the reader (no matter if it is the internal Matshita or an external drive) the system write a message like :" this computer cannot read the disk" (in italian "il disco inserito non è leggibile da questo computer").
I have also a macbook air : no problem at all with the same CD and the same external reader.
Please help me.....

Followup: on a business trip. Booked ahead for Genius Bar appointment. Fixed in half an hour. His hardware test found nothing wrong with the MacBook. He flashed Mountain Lion onto the laptop with no hiccups. Right there in the store the MB connected to iCloud and I had all my personal information back. Back in the hotel room it only took me 3 hours to fully reinstall all my purchased software over the hotel's wired LAN from the App Store and third party sites, without needing a single DVD like in the bad old days. Even re-installing MS Office was painless. I just searched with Google, then the MS page I clicked on served up a form with my information on it automatically and sent me an email with the product key when I clicked download. Obviously their server recognized this device. I cloned the MB to a small PassPort backup portable external hard drive and then used the MacBook normally in meetings next day. Very impressive service. We've come a long way from portable computing two decades ago.
Still a mystery why the installation would not complete at home, but problem resolved.

Zero timecode after capture

I'm having issues with sporadic zeroing out of timecode after capture. I have two identical systems running FCP 5.1.2 and capturing with AJA Kona 3 cards running version 3.2. All of the capture presets are identical.
The process that I've been using on both systems have been as follows:
Creating a new project
Importing an XML into the project
Batch capture from the Kona card as 1080psf 23.98 DVCPro HD
The odd thing is that one system (only one of the two) sporadically zeros out the preset captured timecode for the entire XML, thusly changing a logged clip that was set to start at 13:21:14:05 and forcing it to start at 00:00:00:00. The duration of the clip remains a constant. A usual fix for this is making the captured clips offline, trashing the FCP preferences, restarting FCP and rebatching. That usually fixes it for a few days, but inevitably returns to the same old problem. I've also tried reinstalling FCP, but that hasn’t resolved it. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for your help!

So, is there a way to get FCP to display Zero-Based
timecode for an individual clip? Or to get After
Effects to read the timecode embedded with the clip?
No and no.
Have you looked at this?

Will manually dropping in apps resolve the 'Other' space usage issue?

I've read through other threads about the 'Other' category hogging space on iOS devices and never found a solution. I have a 32GB iPhone 4 that has 21GB of mystery stuff categorized as 'Other' in iTunes.
I've emptied the caches, removed all photos/videos, removed apps and other content that are space hogs within iOS's Settings/Usage screens to no avail. Upgrading to iOS 6 didn't do anything either.
So, if I were to restore my phone to factory settings and manually add in apps from a backup file, would 1) doing this even work, and 2) resolve the mystery 'Other' category?
Any advice would be great. Thanks!

I tried doing a normal restore and even threw in the extra step of disabling syncing for apps, backing up, then restoring from that back up, but pretty much everything that was left was still the 'Other' data
So I just restored my iPhone as if it were new and manually synced apps back to it. I did that hoping my in-app data would come with it, but I was wrong. There are some apps like Clear that have a bunch of data I would rather not lose. Old text and iMessages would be really nice to get back too but not absolutely important.
I still have my old backup on both iCloud and my iMac; can I restore in-app data somehow (without jailbreaking)?
edit: The fresh restore did get rid of the 'Other' stuff, but now I want my old in-app data back

Some times when I press the home button to read my finger the screen becomes black and it shows the Apple logo, this take a few seconds to get back the screen and this has been happening even 3 or 4 times in a row! What should I do?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Lightroom CC Import sees CF Card in reader but does not see any images, cannot import anything

I have installed Lightroom CC. It seems to work but if I connect a card reader with a CF card, while Lightroom sees the card, it sees no images. I have to copy the files to a hard disk and import from there. How do I fix this annoying problem?

Hi drchevalier,
You mean, you are able to import those files, if moved to hard drive but not able to view them when importing directly from the CF Card? Please attach a screenshot.
If so, might be an issue with the card. Did you try reformatting the card in the camera itself and check? If not, might want to try that.
Also, make sure your camera is in the Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras list. Else, you might not see it in Lr.

EDIT: Sorry, did not see your reply. Glad to hear that the issue got resolved.

Document background in Adobe Reader

Whenever I open a pdf document in Adobe Reader, the background of the document has a 'chessboard' checker effect, making the text difficult to read. Is there a way to get rid of this effect?

In Acrobat Reader, selct the Edit --> Prefernces. Select "Page Display" on the left.
Locate the "Page Content and Information" section and uncheck the item "Show Transparency grid".
Click OK and it should be resolved.

How do I resolve, "Another device on the network is using your computer's IP address?"

Another device on the network is using my computer's IP address

This error message can be seen under several different circumstances. I've seen it after rebooting my router or after an unintended reboot of my computer (like a force quit). If your devices are still able to access the Internet, ignore it. If one of them can't access the Internet then there's an issue with your network that requires resolving.

Timecode missing a digit (00:00:0)

My QuickTime Pro has recently changed its timecode format to 00:00:0 (only one digit in the last set). This is not counting seconds or frames, becaus it takes about 15 seconds for it to change. It is doing this on all of my clips (even ones that I have previously viewed without this problem. Any idea what is causing the problem???

Like other cameras that shoot AVCHD, you need to preserve the folder structure from the cards in order for timecode to be read. I don't think that timecode is recorded into the MTS files, but in metadata files stored along in the folder structure. I believe these are the CPI (clip information) files inside the PRIVATE\AVCHD\BDMV\CLIPINF folder. I don't have an NX5U folder structure to test, but I do have one from a Panasonic HMC150. If I move/rename the CLIPINF folder, all the clips start 00:00:00:00. If the folder is there, however, the timecode is read.
The upshot is that if all you have are MTS files, Premiere won't read the timecode.
