Please help me solve this timecode comparison issue (urgent)

[Shane Ross]

Sorry not seeing this until now…but equally sorry as I don’t know what the question nor the issue is. Can you clarify, or is it tooo late?

Thank you for the replay Shane. It’s not late yet.

I try to clarify this. I have to correct a video error from a source video. We have to work on a Premiere sequence which must be started at 01:00:00:00 tc (first frame of timecode). In this 25 fps project they found an error at TC 01:00:23:04.
They need an exact Timecode (TC) from the original source which is a 24 fps source, and as I checked the original source video, the video TC start is (first frame of timecode) is 00:57:00:00. So I imported the original video, set the sequence to 24 fps and timeline start time to 00:57:00:00

My question is, as I opened the original source video with the right TC 00:57:00:00 in Premiere and with the right fps (24), where can I find (What is the exact TC of) the same error (01:00:23:04) as in the 25 fps project which TC 01:00:00:00 start time code?

The different in the 2 timecode sequence (both the 25 fps and 24 fps) is 00:03:0:00 (3 minutes)

Also, if there is a similar problem, how can I solve this in detailed steps?

If I understand correctly, park the playhead at the problem in your sequence and match frame which should load the source clip with the playhead at that frame which should give you the timecode you’re looking for.
