    How do you import the timecode information from a bwf file into FCP 5?

    If I just import, I get all the starting timecodes at 00:00:00:00, but if I go to Sebsky tool and convert them to AIFF and so on, I do get the timecode information. I rather not convert the files and work natively in BWF.

    I thought in FCP 5 you could import the BWF with timecode info without having to go to a 3rd part software.

    Sorry if it has been discussed before, but I couldn’t find any info on it.
