I’ve “gone back and forth” with dozens of projects between 6 and 5.5. Never a single problem. Sorry to hear something didn’t work for you, but my experience would say that it’s not related to software versioning of any kind.

[Bouke Vahl] “Keep in mind that for TC decoding only the first few frames / samples are used, and the rest is calculated from there.”
That’s a good thing to know. I was actually curious about this point.
It’s definitely something to consider. Both devices just getting their LTC from an iphone. I wonder if it’s easier to hook to the iphone directly into the DR680, but then feed the one of the RCA line-outs to the camera (a canon 5D in this case).

I bought Jumpstart LTC on my iphone for testing this exact scenario last week. However, I noticed that the app stated “not to be used as a master clock” – which I assume is exactly what this process is doing?
Perhaps the timecode isn’t perfectly consistent, which is why I don’t recommend feeding it constantly as an audio channel? I don’t really know.

Thanks for this great advice about the preroll function.
Yes, I’m an Avid editor as my day job, so this is exactly why I’ve been bent on using the LTC function.
-
All excellent points. This is exactly how I feel every time people say it’s ‘fast.’ They are ALL fast.

Premiere Pro is hands down the best engineered editor in terms of performance.
Not gonna lie though – MC6 is a serious contender and it’s going to roadblock much of Adobe’s venture into the broadcast world for some time to come.

Thanks for the response Michael. If I may ask another scenario:
What if the R4pro was sending LTC timecode into a a DSLR, like a 5D? The LTC audio track should line up perfectly with the BWF files, correct? That kind of what I’m trying to achieve for my personal projects.
-
Hey Chuck – hate to bring up an old thread — but I was thinking about getting the R4-Pro, and the issue you mention about BWF timecode being off from the TC sent to other devices is alarming.
Were you ever able to troubleshoot this?

That’s indeed a comparable recorder. The 744t was on my short-list until I saw the price. Perplexing that the price is $4,095.00. While the R4-pro is $2,395.00. I wonder what’s responsible for nearly double the price?

To be honest – I doubt it had much to do with the weakness of FCPX or the strengths of Premiere Pro either way. Most new Premiere Pro users didn’t go out and buy it, they already had it and just never opened it.
