Hi
I need to burn the TC into the video by using Timecode Filter. It works correctly for IMX50/MXF videos, but incorrectly for XDCAM HD422/MXF videos. I've found out, that for theese videos the variable %s_start_tc% indicates start timecode value 00:00:00:00 despite the fact that json %s_info_mediainfo% reports TimeCode_FirstFrame value 10:00:00:00.
Attached please find the text files with values of %s_original_name%, %s_start_tc% and %s_info_mediainfo%.

I should also mention, that Sony XDCAM Viewer app displays start TC 10:00:00:00.

Any idea why theese two values are different?
Thanks for any advice.

Oops, it seems I have reported identical issue as user "taner" did few weeks ago - Variable | Start TC | Wrong Result. Sory for that

Hello Silicon,

Maybe a stupîd question but did you check the start tc inside the timecode filter? It could be a trap because the default value is "00:00:00:00" and not the source file start tc (%s_start_tc%). You have to change that if you want to be ok with your input file.
Cheers.

Hi @momocampo.
The Timecode filter has "Use original medias start timecode" option checked.
And the workflow affected works correctly for IMX50/MXF files.

Hello,
Ok you're right, there is a bug.
This bug will be fixed in the next release, the 1.2.1.
