Had a kerfuffle. Client shot everything at 48fps to reduce motion blur on freeze frames. Premier sees 48fps, QT sees 48fps, Flame sees 24fps. Moreso first frame of raw media in Premier is 08:16:33:14, Flame is 16:33:08:16
So XMLs from edit were a complete wash and we eye matched everything. I don’t see an obvious fix?
Looking at those tricks now, but as 48fps shows up nowhere in Flame… It’s just the SMPTE established rates it seems. Select Rate on Import at 50fps does get the starting TC much closer.
id go old school. output an EDL. Then, ask AI to take every shot’s last 2 numbers and divide by 2, rounded to the nearest integer. Conform from that. probably pretty close.
It makes sense if Flame starts counting TC at 00, it would be at hour 16 when Premier is at hour 8. Double. Anyhow, next round I’ll try some of these tricks. But probably quickest just to eye match on a :30
