Timecode Format Error opening Premiere EDL in Speedgrade
I’m having no luck bring EDLs of Premiere sequences to Speedgrade. When I attempt to import any EDL into Speedgrade I get essentially this error message:
ERRORIn point timecode is invalid. Invalid timecode format string(hours): '23813+20'
in edit 1
File: 001 LR001 V C 2813+20 23815+17 0:00 1+37
Line: 2
I’ve worked very rarely with EDLs but have read the Speedgrade and Premiere guides. I must be missing something but can’t tell what. Here’s the details from my project:
I’m editing in 24fps. The video files are generated in After Effects from DPX files. The timecode is based on the DPX file names, with the hour matching the Lab Roll number (so 11:00:00 for Roll 11)
I export an EDL in CMX3600 format. I’ve tried both default settings and without audio. Same results. I even get the same result if I make a sequence from a single clip and try exporting that EDL.
I don’t think this is a Speedgrade issue, because if I try re-importing the EDL into Premiere, it seems like all the clips are only one frame long. Also, test EDL files, like from Lynda.com exercises, work fine.
Any suggestions about what I might be doing incorrectly would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Figured it out. Premiere Project Settings must be set to Display Format: Timecode
