Why Was The FCP 5.1 Timecode Default 01.00.00.00  ?

Last year a member of our video club invited us round to the grand unveiling of his sparkling new FCS 5.1.
When he opened FCP we noticed that the default timecode in the Canvas was 01.00.00.00 instead of all zeros.
Of course it was no problem to alter it in the System Preferences and we forgot about it.
Yesterday the question came up again but nobody could provide an answer.
Is there some professional way of working that necessitates adding an extra hour to the timecode or was it just a glitch?
Ian.

When you send a tape to broadcast, the specs will require you to add black, bars & tone and a countdown. The exact duration of each can vary depending on the outlet.
If the program part of the tape begins at zero, there is no way for this essential pre-program information to have TC as there are NO negative Timecode numbers (forget what your consumer VHS VCR shows you ...)
So, for the broadcast engineer to know EXACTLY when the program will start, it begins at 01:00:00;00 with all that other stuff starting at less than the one hour mark. (or at the 10:00:00:00 mark with the other stuff running before).
In a related issue, in shooting multiple tapes, some will use the hour marker as the means to track tapes. 01:00:00;00 for the first tape, 02:00:00;00 for the second and so forth.

    Sorry, but I don't understand your question. What "discount amount" are you referring to?

  • Why was the head phone jack moved to the bottom of the iPhone 5

    Why was the head phone jack moved to the bottom of the iPhone 5

    Because it worked better with the new design, most likely.  To get the real answer you'd have to ask the people that designed it.

  • WHY was the Print icon removed?

    WHY was the Print icon removed?
    I want it back.
    I used to have an icon for printing on the Toolbar in 3.5.5.
    When I asked where it went, I found this answer: "That Print window will show every time you go to print something in Firefox 3.6+ versions, the option to suppress that window from appearing and the user to be able to print "directly" was removed." Tried to reinstall 3.5.5 but couldn't. Not liking 3.6 at all

    Took a tad more than just "going to Customize. " First thing to do was figure out where "Customize" might be. Just guessing, I clicked the three-horizontal-line box at far right end of the address bar. Downloads was on that menu. But I want it on my toolbar, where it used to be at far right of address box. At bottom of the Menu screen there was a bar, Customize. Clicked that and got a screen where I could move Download and other icons around by clicking on the icon, holding, and dragging. But that didn't get it on the toolbar. Finally, out of curiosity I right-clicked the icon to see what would happen. I got a small box giving me choice to Move to Toolbar. Clicked that. BINGO!!! Also figured out you can do same by clicking View/Toolbars/Customize, then right click any icon you want on Toolbar and put it there. Thanks for starting me in right direction.

  • Why was the link button removed from the piano roll?

    Why was the LINK (chain) button removed from the piano roll? This makes Logic X useless to me as I can no longer compose or perform new lines based on previous midi performances. PLEASE BRING IT BACK!

    I miss that button too and just filled out the LX Feedback form (Menubar -> Logix Pro X-> Feedback) with the following text. Maybe if you guys did the same, we had a chance revive this essetial feature!!!
    thanks!
    Sebi
    Hi there,
    it seems as if the Link Button (Yellow chain symbol) has been removed from the piano roll for no reason. In Score View it is still there.
    I (and probably more users) absolutely NEED that Button to decouple the content of the piano roll from the selected track/region AND to use multiple piano roll windows with independent content.
    - For transscripting (Mute/Solo Audio regions while editing a Midi-Region)
    - For arranging. Edit 2 different midi regions both in separate Piano Roll windows
    - For recording. "Reading" Drum-Patterns while recording the Bass e.g.
    Please bring that button back or explain why it was removed
    Best regards,

  • Why do the bookmark icons return to default when i clear history?

    Why do the bookmark icons return to default (the blue bubbles) when i clear history? This is using os x mavericks.
    OS X Snow Leopard did not do this. It retained the site icon next to my bookmarks.

    The webpageicons database may be corrupted. It can happen.
    Quit Safari.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Safari/WebpageIcons.db
    Click Go then move the WebpageIcons.db file to the Trash.
    Relaunch Safari. It may take a day or two for webpageicons to re populate.

    Have you looked at Delete and Close Gap as well as Delete for what you describe?
    Nonetheless, adding or moving clips to an existing Timeline content without disturbing the existing Timeline content can be challenging and complex under certain scenarios.
    Typical solutions include making these moves with a keyboard modified held down (Windows Alt or Ctr). I am strictly an Elements Windows user, so we will need to find the Mac counterparts for the Windows keyboard modifier techniques.
    Also, if one move triggers a multi-chain disaster, then you should consider grouping block of clips so that they do not move while you are busy with your Timeline maneuvers. Check out the Clip Menu options for Group and Ungroup.
    Some times in the "Mac condition", you need to use fn in addition to the command to achieve some of these Windows counterparts.
    The following video tutorial on arranging clips and keyboard modifiers is being posted for informational non promotional reasons.
    Premiere Elements: Arranging clips on the Timeline using modifier keys | lynda.com - YouTube
    It is demo'd with Premiere Elements 8, but the principles are the same for later versions of the program.
    Here is one variation of the issue on Windows.
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE: Delete and Close Gap Failures
    You should not have to delete audio to prevent it from being split by an addition to an existing Timeline. The keyboard modifiers should help you resolve this type of issue.
    Please review and consider.
    Thanks.

  • Why was the extended star schema scrapped?

    Hi,
    BW on HANA takes out the dimension tables and gives us back the original star schema structure.
    Now my questions are
    - How did the original extended star schema help the old BW on oracle or DB2 systems? I mean what was the need for such a design
    - If it offered some kind of optimization .. then why was it scrapped in BW on HANA? Couldn't it have added on to the performance that HANA DB brought?
    Regards,
    Sam

    Can anyone please explain.. ? Krishna Tangudu Thomas Jung Shyam Uthaman .. Any thoughts?

  • Why was the swype-right gesture to show opened tabs removed?

    In previous versions of Firefox for Android you could swype the screen with 2 fingers to the right, and it would show a list of opened tabs. That design was smooth and very easy to access.
    Why was this removed?
    Is there any swyping equivalent for new version of tabs on top?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply kbrosnan.
    For me it was more intuitive and easier to browse and see all tabs.
    But if everybody says otherwise, I'll have to adjust =)
    Any other improvements in sight for tabs?
    The current one shows only few items, it´s hard to see how many tabs are open and while I'm browsing them I don't know where exactly I stand.
    Cheers

  • Did Occipital, Inc. stop making the ClearCam app? Version 1.8.2 was the last update. Why was the ClearCam app deleted from iTunes.?

    The ClearCam app by Occipital, Inc. was deleted from iTunes? Version 1.8.2 was the last update. Does anyone know why the app was deleted from iTunes? Just looking for an answer, because I used that app on a daily basis for work. I'd appreciate it so much if some had an answer to this question. Thanks

    I have a similar problem and have spent three sequential days at the Apple Genius Bar before we were able to exclude most other possibilities and found that certain files (in my case all mp3s from CDs I own) that play just fine in iTunes 11.0.1 and that used to play in iOS 6.0.1 do not play in iOS 6.1. We restored the phone to factory settings and synced only a few of the music files that were problematic. They still did not play. We reproduced the problem on my iPad mini (iOS6.1).
    Apple Telephone Support suggestion was to convert all mp3 files in iTunes to AAC (which according to Apple Website may degrade sound quality). No further suggestions or escalation but a recommendation to place comments on www.apple.com/feedback and, if there are enough complaints, someone at Apple might take an interest in this problem. Something has changed in iOS 6.1 where files that played on prior mobile system software no longer work.
    Apple, please pay attention to this glitch with iOS 6.1.

  • Why was the pause button removed from the download bar?

    I know about the pause option in the context menu, but the question is simply, why??? And the pause option is greyed out for me in the context menu, and yeah I've looked at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/980832 and https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/981703 but the suggestions don't solve it for me.
    My question is, why just remove some functionality that a lot of users are used to having? Why do you want to make people use an add-on for what seems to be one of the simplest and most fundamental functionality of a web browser? What do you hope to accomplish?

  • Why was the "new tab" button option removed from the "customize toolbar" set?

    Back in 3.x and older I was able to place a "open new window" button, and an "open new tab" button on the bookmarks toolbar. This worked well for me. Now with 4, the "open new tab" is unavailable, and you can only open a new tab using the default button right next to your already open tabs.
    Any chance of that open new tab button coming back? I'd rather use that (what I am used to) than the new one.
    They're called options, stop removing them.

    You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar.<br />
    You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions.<br />
    If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible to the left of it.<br />
    Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"

  • Why was the management of WiFi networks removed?

    Whoever decided, that the dialog should be removed is hopefully fired by now. I am amazed that such a fundamental tool removal was missed by the final product QA. Are we really supposed to manage our profiles from the command line?
    And why the hell can I just not add the same SSID twice and Windows 8.1 offers me to
    CHANGE THE CURRENT connection instead of saying the name is already in use and I have to choose another one? Who designs such UX?
    You really need to fix that back to what it was in Windows 7 with Windows 9.
    Sorry for the rant, but this issue is just driving me mad!

    Hello,
    If you click on the WIFI-Status symbol a sidebar opens and here you can see all the found or listed WIFI-Networks.
    IF you are doing a right-click on the Symbol you come to the old network-manager.
    Hope, i understood your question correctly.
