Getting Timeline to start at 00:00:00:00 ??
Getting Timeline to start at 00:00:00:00
I’ve gone into Resolve ‘Preferences’ and set the ‘User/Editing’ ‘Start Timecode’ to 00:00:00:00, however, project still starts at 01:00:00:00, any ideas?
Closing Resolve and re-starting retains my User settings, but existing and new projects insist on starting Timecode at 01:00:00:00, which is a drag for my workflow, any ideas?

I currently don’t have DaVinci installed, but I’m pretty sure it will show 01:00:00:00 until you have imported clips into the timeline, no matter what the default is set to. After that it will show correctly.

Nope, still shows with extra minute tagged at beginning, regardless.

“extra minute”…?
1:00:00:00 is one hour, and is basically an industry standard designed to avoid negative time. Basically because there was a convention to add test signals, slate, countdown &c. prior to Program Start *in the olden days.* I was never that fond of it myself because it messes up some synchronization with leader occasionally for Non-Drop uni-clip media in Drop Frame sequences.
Many broadcasters require a starting time code of 10:00:00;00, but that probably isn’t going to be an issue here either.
Right-click on the timeline in the assets bin. It will bring up a Timelines> dialog that includes “Starting Timecode” and you can set in anything from 00:00:00:00 to 23:59:59.NN depending on what your frame base standard is.
