Hey all..=C2=A0

I ran into an issue today with some clips a client sent me.=C2=A0

They sent me 6 MXF files and a document with timecode in and out points. =
=C2=A0I was to trim them down to those exact time-spans, then do some compo=
siting, tracking, logo removal, and send the shortened clips back.

Unfortunately, I stumbled across a pretty glaring bug in the latest version=
 of AE while doing so.=C2=A0

Apparently, v16.0.0 doesn't handle timecode properly, or at least with thes=
e clips I was handed. =C2=A0The shots were all trimmed incorrectly, usually=
 skipping between 100 to 130 frames of the in-point my client actually need=
ed.

My solution at the time was to open the clips in Premiere.. trim them there=
, place them on a timeline, and then save that project and import that Prem=
iere project into AE where I had the right trim points. (Although the trimm=
ed points were correct, the timecodes on these were way off in AE from what=
 the client provided)

I've fixed my issue with a workaround for this morning's fires to be put ou=
t, and now I've started to look into the issue more. =C2=A0Just opened the =
same footage in v15.1.2 and it had no problem with timecode syncing to the =
correct spot in the mxf files. =C2=A0So this seems to be a problem with v16=
.0.0 currently.

Just wanted to give everyone a heads-up about this in case you're taking ti=
mecodes from clients and trimming things in AE.=C2=A0

I'll go find the proper channels to report this bug with the AE team and ho=
pefully get it patched out soon.
