Myself and other colleagues have been using the same preset to export our master videos (movs) for some time, with the timecode starting at 23:59:58:00 to allow a 2 second leader, before the timecode rolls over and goes to 00:00:00:00 when the actual content comes on.
However, recently, rather than rolling over to 00:00:00:00 it's going over to 24:00:00:00, which isn't what we want. This is something that's not appearing in premiere, but in quicktime or external programs when watching the films back (see attached images).
Is there some kind of export setting I scan use to prevent this from happening?
Wow, you've found a modern method to recreate an old problem.
You only have limited control as to what any given player will do.
This is why broadcast programs start at 01:00:00:00 timecode rather than 0. In the days of videotape, there was too much chance the receiving equipment couldn't read the crossover properly or would even seize up completely.
Suggested workarounds, start your program at 1 hour rather than zero, or just lose the 2 second lead in, maybe add a few frames of black to the start of your show.
