Question

Sequence Overlay is showing the wrong Timecode

Hit a snag on a project today that I've never seen before.   The overlay on my sequence for my sources show one timecode but when I match back to source file it's a completely different timecode.

 

For example, my overlay is saying the source timecode is 00:29:41:10 but the actual source timecode is 12:34:29:03.  I'm working with merged clips but I also tried with the original raw files and was running into the same issue.

 

I'm working on the most recent version of the software.

I’m having the same issue: production footage synced with secondary-sound wave files using timecode multicam automation,  BUT the timecode overlay (source TC enabled) shows a ~39 second disparity of the actual source timecode of the wav files versus what the overlay displays.

Match Frame reveals the ‘real’ wave file timecode being in sync with the overlay V1 clip TC.

Hi @bdboudreaux 
What are your timecode overlay settings? If you enter custom mode and select the drop down menu, can you then select your source clip and choose the time code for it? 
Here to help.
