So... Yeah..
That's what I thought too. And traditionally at least it should be correct. Timecode is somehow supposed to be limited to 23:59:59:2X (or 119 at max... ) Or we wouldn't all remember/mention that limit.
It is like that in
Premiere Pro - Hard limit with an error message.
In
Avid - Sort of looses it around 24 hrs.. doiesn't write TC beyond
and in
FCPX - TC becomes incoherent after 24 hrs..
Then a colorist friend told me he was cruising a 68 hr timeline.. and it made go "wait a minute..."
I just love how BMD kicks traditions in the ass... 255:59:59:119 This isn't some DHARMA Initiative code. This is Resolve's current (V15 on my macbook) TC limit in a timeline.
This revelation was so cool that I just had to share it somewhere
I wonder if there is a limit (metadata limit? codec/container limit?) in exporting it to a file, I didn't try cause I wasn't sure how it would affect my laptop to export such a behemoth.
p.s. Then
Smoke (I have it as a Trainer, rarely use it now days... Anyone frequently working on it in 2018??) just had to ruin all my fun... I stopped checking after it passed 1000:59:59...
