I appreciate the response Scott. It makes no sense that an editor would skip valid timecodes because they’re odd numbers. I’ve tried in both FCP and premiere and both put the in point on hh:00:00;00 and the out at hh:01:59;29. The next clip would begin at hh:02:00;02. This is just accepted as how avid does df timecode?
Sounds like you need to change the deck frame rate back to 29.97. I think FCP is telling the remote to look for one frame rate and the deck is giving a different one.
