Whoa. In/Out Duration 6 Frames Off?
I recently downloaded the Premiere Pro CS6 trial and loved it so much that I decided to ditch FCP7 altogether. Except…
Center duration is waaaaay wrong.
I set my in-point. I need an out exactly one second later. Always accounting for frame offset, I “+29” on the numeric keypad and mark it. The in/out duration now reads “1:06.”
What the heck? The biggest deviation should only come from drop frame TC, and that’s 2 frames every first second of a minute.
Something is brutally wrong. Like, Hindenburg wrong. Has anyone else run into this issue, or does Premiere handle numerical playhead positioning different than every other NLE?

Providing additional information:
Cutting 1080p/23.976 in a 1080p/23.976 Drop sequence
If I enter “+1:00” it gives me at duration of “1:01” as expected. But subtract a frame by “+:29” it, and it jumps to “1:06”I loaded plain old DV NTSC at 29.97, and it does not have the 6 frame offset issue. So to me it points to the 23.976 frame rate.

[Andrew Traweek] “Cutting 1080p/23.976 in a 1080p/23.976 Drop sequence
If I enter “+1:00” it gives me at duration of “1:01” as expected. But subtract a frame by “+:29” it, and it jumps to “1:06″”This is exactly as it should be. If you want one frame less then a second you need to enter 23 frames, not 29 since you’re cutting 24p. If you enter more frames then are in a second then they spill over and you get 1:06.

John-Michael explains the +29 = 1:06 duration very well.
You should also be aware that “drop-frame” timecode only exists for the 29.97 frame rate.
23.976 and 59.94 do not use drop-frame timecode.David Kuhnen

DERP. Doing this as long as I have and missing the fact that I only have 23 frames per second is slightly embarrassing. I’ve been 29.97 for as long as I can remember.
ID10T error. Feel free to recount this story of extreme stupidity in your edit bays. LOL.
