View Full Version : What was the reason why we Zero'd the time code?

Hi, I can't remember where I read a thread about zero'ing the time code for CCE. Was that to fix some sync issues? Anyway I was reading the CCE guide and it states to not do that but instead use the DF (drop frame) check box instead.

"Initially, the first frame (frame number 0) is mapped to timecode 01:00:00:00. Although you can change this setting, avoid using the timecode 00:00:00:00 since this value has special meaning to Cinema Craft Encoder SP. If you prefer dropped frame, select DF check box."

Should I change my CCE templates to the proper 01 timecode and check DF? I'm not sure what this does.

Thanks

basically what I'm asking is should I just leave the timecode at 01:00:00:00? was this 00:00:00:00 thing just to fix a maestro problem?

Thanks
