Thanks for all you help everyone 🙂
I’m going to have to check this drop frame thing out when I get back to work. However — I’m not sure it’s that because I know that the footage was NDF and I would have to have been really stupid to put my batch capture at DF… no no… actually I would have noticed the commas, it’s not DF.
However, the problem HAS been fixed… we told Technicolor that the ALEs they gave us were coming in at 29.97 and even though the tape was 2997, we’re capturing it at 23.98 so they need to be 23.98.
That worked — whatever they’ve been doing on their end, our clips are now coming in with frames ending in 5’s and 0’s.
The numbers still change after batch capture though. They gives us ALE’s with frames that end in 4 or 6 or 8 even though we asked them not to… however once they’re captured, they’re fixed…. so…. hahaha…. I really have no idea what’s going on!
