Program TC overlay displays incorrect timecode

I imported shots with double-system audio recorded 32-bit float having jammed an FX6 from a MixPre6ii.  I can sync camera (with guide track) and audio clips in the timeline via TC with no problem.  Here's the oddity: Suddenly the TC overlay in the Program window displays incorrect TC for only the audio clips (up to a minute off), but PPro seems to read the proper TC because I can still sync clips using TC in the timeline.  Also, I had TC properly displayed in a couple of timelines, but when I went to another timeline and then back to the timelines that had correctly displayed the TC, they now also displayed incorrect TC, i.e. the display went bad in seconds.  I had correct TC displayed in these timelines for weeks until this anomaly occurred.  I know because I did a test shot shooting the display of the MixPre, which displayed the same TC as the PPro Program overlay.   I uninstalled and reinstalled PPro: same problem.  On another computer: same problem.  Is this PPro having problems with 32-bit float?  Something else?  [I'm on a trashcan Mac Pro, OS 12.6.6, PPro v23.5]  Thoughts?  Thanks

I need to recheck this later this evening. As of last week, I was still seeing the wrong Audio file TC in Overlays versus what the actual file time code in my current project.

Hi Kevin,

 

It looks like this might be fixed for me in 24.5. I don't have time for detailed testing now, but I just worked on a project that I believe had that problem previously with 24.3, and now the TC seemed to match. I can try more testing later if that'd be helpful.

Hello @kristines23037864,

Thanks very much for the response. I am so sorry that this issue remains for you.

 

Can anyone else on the thread @ilivedinvegas, @cmaikai, @Collin K, @mcx#5000,  verify that this bug is still occurring in 24.6 with its support for LTC timecode in audio tracks? Please let the devs know what you find. My apologies for this issue. I hope the team can address this issue soon.

 

Take Care,
Kevin

Problem remains.  (I'm on v23; my trashcan MacPro can't upgrade to v24-- if that matters).

I am also experiencing this bug in v24.5.0. The workarounds above do not work.

I'm still experiencing incorrect time code showing in Overlays on the timeline as of last week.

That workaround worked for me for 29.97NDF timecode as well.
