Has anyone else experienced this?
I use FCPX and have noticed that the timecode of clips recorded sequentially is not necessarily continuous. I have attached two screenshots of the FCPX Event Browser, each showing a series of clips that were recorded sequentially. Once screenshot is when the camera is set for timecode in Drop Frame, the other for camera timecode in Non Drop Frame. Although, as there were recorded in 59.94p, it was my understanding that Drop Frame does not apply.
Note that in each case, the timecode is not necessarily continuous from clip to clip. In fact, for some clips (as circled in red) the ending timecode for a clip is AFTER the beginning timecode of the subsequent clip - which seems especially strange and leads me to believe it is not related to Drop Frame/Non Drop Frame.
Furthermore, for Drop Frame Clips, there are some clips when the starting time plus duration does not equal the ending time (see Clip #249, highlighted in blue.)
The clips were recorded in a Canon C100 Mark II, AVCHD format, 59.94p FPS. The camera timecode was set to Rec Run (running only when recording), for which the manual states that continuous timecode is recorded from clip to clip.
I am using FCPX 10.3 on macOS 10.12.1.
Can anyone provide an explanation for the non continuous timecode and discrepancy between start, duration and end? I looked online for discussions of this and was surprised not to find any. If you know of any relevant discussions, please let me know.
