What type of files were made by the camera (codec and wrapper)? Can you link to a camera source file and compare timecode to the same clip in Avid? Do they match? If they do, can you load that same clip into Resolve and see if the timecode matches there to what Avid has? Jef

[quote user="Darson"] Reading the notes, What’s Fixed in 2021.6: The following has been fixed: Bug Number: MCCET-3702 is in the bugs fixed, I'll download it and give reports here if somebody is interested.
