hi guys I am having a strange thing but probably I am doing something wrong cause Ive never seen something like this.

in the timeline I get like 7 scroll bars ( those one where the time code is on, I hope you know wich one i mean, usually called TCI )
well when I capture from the camara at 23.97 ( or something like that ), when I drop the clip into the sequence I get all this: tci,24,25p,25,30D,30ND,ECI
could someone explain me what is going on?

I am probably capturing wrong, I dont know, could someone help me out!

You can hide the TC tracks you don't want to use by selecting just those tracks and hiding them (control H, or shift/control H depending on OS version).

The timecode tracks are for tracking multiple timecode bases in preperation for universal mastering. It will tell you the duration and position in any of the time bases (PAL, NTSC, drop frame, feet+ frames) depending on your needs. Keep the ones you want or need, hide the rest.
