Drop Zone referencing specific timecode
Posted by Bill Nahlik on February 18, 2015 at 4:42 pmFCPX drop zone is referencing timecode 00:00:00:00 in my Motion 5 template.
How can I use drop zone footage with a different timecode? Or, more accurately, how do I set up my template so it does not reference a specific timecode?

May 30, 2016 at 8:39 pmI’m having the same issue. Latest versions of both Motion and FCPX.
In the Motion template, I have several dropzones about 10 frames apart.
In FCPX, while selecting the frame 0 in all the dropzones of a clip with timecode burned in, instead of having the timecode “reset” to 0 when a dropzone changes (the first one should end in 10 frames and the second start in 0), the timecode is continuous.
Why is this and how can I overcome this?
Thank you.

May 31, 2016 at 11:19 amIt seems there was a bug that was introduced. Now every drop zone starts at the beginning of the animation and it is offset depending on where you click on the Drop Zone.
I go into more detail on this video on my help page on the temporary workaround:

May 31, 2016 at 6:57 pmThank you for your help. But when you have so many dropzones in a template as I do, this just isn’t straight forward enough.
Hope this gets fixed soon.
