Premiere Pro and Timecode

I have a problem with Premiere Pro displaying the correct time code. I work in an .MP4 world where having proper time code is critical. The Preview display is always off by 1-2 seconds. My work around is going into Modify for each clip, switching to the time code tab and change the Time Display Format from "Use Default Time Display" to 59.94 fps Drop Frame Timecode. The default 59.94 Drop Frame set in my projects and sequence should be the accepted inside the preview as default. This is a huge time suck. This time code error started showing up around 14.8 and continues through 15.4.1

I don't know if this would help your specific case, but to state the obvious, you're aware of the Media preferences, does setting that help? (before importing I think)

Thanks...yes already been there done that. I have about 30 macs in my fleet. All set the same way all do the same thing. The weird thing...it used to be 100% accuarate prior to Premiere 14.8. Since that update TC has been off when using .mp4 media.

Hi dtarrnews12,

Sorry about the poor experience. We can get this checked. Let us know the source & the frame rate of the media file that you are working with. Also, is your sequence set to 59.94fps?

Thanks,

Sumeet

Source can be any .mp4... the majority of my content is 1280x720p frame rate is 59.94 from raw content through export including seqence. I am using XDCAM EX 35mb.

Thanks for looking at this.
