Activity Forums DaVinci Resolve Resolve will not read time-code and Reel Number/name if the footage was processed in Adobe Media Encoder

  • Resolve will not read time-code and Reel Number/name if the footage was processed in Adobe Media Encoder

    Yet another time-code related bug.
    If you have a footage that has been processed in Adobe Media Encoder on Windows. (or any other Adobe application)Resolve will see neither time-code nor Reel Name.
    Premiere pro will see the time-code and the reel number (it refers to it as a tape) and it will refer to it in an XML or aaf generated, Resolve seems to look only where it would be put by QuickTime. It seems that when Adobe Media Core apps do anything to a footage they change something about QuickTime files that makes time-code invisible to resolve.

    I’d say if quicktime does not see timecode this file is broken.

    God knows what adobe does to files and / or will there be sdk for implementing this.

    I would not say it is bug as adobe does what it pleases it seems to me?

    one can not implement things that other people think is the way and the will not say what that way is.

    if it is documented and accessible then there is knowledge to use this way.
    if not then it is just flash in adobes head what and how it is done ?

    This is the most weird thing: QuickTime does see the correct time-code!
    But when opening the same file in Resolve – start time-code is 0000000

    Will do. Want to make sure that it is in fact Adobe and not a Cineform issue
