  Source timecode reader?

  Anyone worked out how to make a source timecode reader for FCPX yet?

  I still do this in FCP7, and it works well.

  If your timecode is completely sequential, you can drop your clips into a timeline, set the timecode of the project to match the first clip and use the timecode generator in FCPX.

  My problem is that my Sony HVR-Z7U misses about 37 frames of timecode with each clip it creates, so I can’t do this.
