Just to proof me a fool.
I spent some more time on these (in my opinion) odd things about FCP's NTSC and timecode handling. So I was wrong with the 60 NDF non NTSC - it's not always DF, I've to do some more tests to figure out when and why.
To make me look not too bad. Here something somebody may check and possibly will give some feedback. I attached a real simple FCP project which is non NTSC, 30 FPS and therefore timecode should be NDF. It includes a sequence containing a slug and some markers.
If I export as XML and then re-import all timing is screwed up. The earlier stuff I did was for creating empty sequences so I "only looked in theory" for this NTSC/NDF oddities without any actual footage.
So the way I described in the earlier post is not really correct, as it seems that at least for a round trip of an XML some stuff has to be exchanged in the original XML.
I really would appreciate if somebody could do the same test and let me know about the result. Maybe it's my setup - hmh
Thanks Andreas
