Premiere Pro should be able to read timecode of 120fps footage

Currently any footage shot above 99 fps shows a timecode of 00:00:00:000 which is ridiculous. Premiere Pro should be able to read timecodes that are formatted with 3 trailing zeros properly so we can organize footage by timecode.

@esemze I edited my post after making it, so you might have missed the question I asked of you:

"You mentioned that you're using multiple cameras; are they all the Nikon Z6II?"

 

Know that would be useful for us. Thanks!

Thanks! We've confirmed this is a bug and we're looking into the cause. You mentioned that you're using multiple cameras; are they all the Nikon Z6II? Or are you seeing this problem with timecode on footage from other cameras too? 

 

Regards,

Fergus

Captured on a Nikon z6ii timecode generated internally.

What camera is capturing the video? Is the timecode being supplied by the camera or by an external timecode device?

Yes, that is correct. I sort verite footage from multiple cameras into a stringout sequence based on timecode.

@esemze I apologize, I think I see what you're saying – is your issue that the TC is starting at 00:00:00:000 rather than 10:46:25:118?

@esemze This is supported in Premiere Pro. Could you share which version you are using? Here's a screenshot from my end using your media and you can see Project panel, Source Monitor, and Overlays all use three digits for the frame counter.

 

Thanks,

Matt

Just create a project, import footage that was shot above 99fps and you have recreated the issue.

If for some reason you are still able to see the correct timecode after doing that ( I cannot ) then interpret the footage to something like 23.976 and you will most certainly get a timecode of 00:00:00:00

 

Here is a clip that was shot at 120 fps with a timecode in the metadata that you can test with:
