Thanks Craig.
I used the standard time code, generated in the EX1. Settings were: Preset > Rec Run. Each separate shoot date I reset TC to 00:00:00:00.
In addition I renamed the Title Prefix (first 4 alphanumeric digits of clip ID) to correspond with each new shoot day and I zeroed out the Clip Number (last 4 digits) to help organize my copious footage. This all worked very well.
I shot at HQ 1080 24P.
I spent some time on the phone with Sony tech support. They requested screen grabs, which I sent with all details. I seems like a bug at this point… but will keep you posted.
Further thoughts or advice, always appreciated.
Dave
