Thank you, I will try that, although the problem still remains, why would DaVinci (or the Premiere xml) does not interpret the timecode correctly?

This is the solution, elegant and simple. And FREE! or rather pay what you want. SO I guess reading the above discussion which started to become pretty silly,you think Adobe should pay VinhSon a quarter of a million dollars? Obviously this is a very needed feature that some engineers simply did not think about. Every program I use has that feature in one way or another, and yes, we should ask developers to do a good job, their products are not free, I don’t care if it is a bicycle or an airplane. User centric design is the number one priority and they have to listen to their customers if they are to stay in business.
Thank you for the link and thank VinhSon Nguyen for solving the badly needed feature. -
Thank you for your response. The cards you mention are very good for small product shots etc. but I need a larger card. Also I need the digital file of the card to use in DaVinci to demonstrate certain functions and it is practically impossible to get accurate values by either photographing or scanning the card (specially if the are protected, like DSC’s CamAlign.
Now that I have all individual values, primaries, secondary and additional (like skin tones) etc. I’ll have an accurate digital file that I can use as a reference to the one shot on location, -
Thank you for your suggestion, very helpful. I did find a calibrated CIE color chart with all values printed as well from https://www.brucelindbloom.com/ if anybody else is interested. More technical explanations as to how to interpret and apply these values (including a script) are at https://www.rags-int-inc.com/PhotoTechStuff/AcrCalibration/.

Hi Todd, I cannot replicate the problem on demand, it happens randomly. Yesterday in a class of 15 one student had the same problem. My AE version is CS6 but the class lab had CS 5.5
Only one layer on the timeline (the audio layer), and then Keyframe Assistant/Convert Audio to Keyframes. That’s it. Size of audio track makes no difference. 10 sec or a minute. RAM is also sufficient (16 GB) and no other applications open.
The previous responder might be right, since I tried that in class, waited a couple of minutes and when clicked the keyframed null layer stayed on. In my case I had to delete the Preferences (which sucked because it was fully customized) because it would simply not stay on, as soon as I clicked anywhere the track was gone.
If it happens again I’ll take a screen shot but I am afraid there is nothing unusual to see except a single layer.

Thank you. It did improve by increasing the search area but it would still get lost at points where there is nothing apparently different.

As you can see the scene is simple, a high contrast statue against a blue sky, that is all. You would think it is the easiest track of all. There is some movement but not excessive.

I have the same problem. But I am using a couple of jpg sequences that won’t track even though they have very good tracking features. I’ve also rendered them as movies with PNG compression as suggested…nothing. I am using AE CS5. Other scenes track perfectly well (movies) Strangely enough it is tutorial footage from the book AE CS5 Visual Effects and Compositing Studio Techniques by Mark Christiansen, so the footage should be correct, right?
