    Is there a way to have Resolve read both time code sources on RED files? Or at least offer the ability to choose?

    Sometimes I get edls pointing at edgecode TC and Resolve is wanting to look at the other type (I forget what it is called time of day?).

    In the Config/Source tab you can choose Camera, Absolute or Edge Code.

    Hi Robert,

    On the Config page, there is a Source tab. On that you can select which timecode you want to use for your RED clips. There are 3 options – Camera, Absolute. Edge. When in Camera mode, it uses whichever of Absolute and Edge was chosen as default on the camera.

    Note that this needs to be set before browsing to/adding the RED media into the media pool. If you are looking at RED media in the media browser when you change the time code setting, you should refresh the folder for the media to be displayed with the new setting before proceeding to add it to the media pool.
