QT time code won\'t match to PT time code in PT LE
 

I brought a project from my office to my home system. The project's QT movie and PT were on sync at my office. However if I opened the same project at my home system, QT time code and PT time code won't match each other. The QT movie is 6flames earler at home. I can't figure out reason of this. Do you guys have any suggestions to solve this problem?
Thanks.

I would check quicktime movie offset setting first. Although, since the difference is 6 frames, it is probably not because of the offset, but check it just to make sure.
Then, maybe something got messed up in the session setup when you changed systems. This may sound stupid, but check if timecode rate is the same as it is on your work system.
What timecode rate is it? If it is 23.976, maybe the problem is in your work system. I don't remember seeing this rate in 6.4... maybe I'm wrong. Just a thought.

did yoo open a copy of the session or a new session? If you opened a new session check the start time of the session and match it to the First frame of the QT. Make sure that the QT doesn't have multiple frames at the head of the file with identical timecoede numbers. ( happens sometimes if it was captured from tape ).. Also make sure the frame rate is the same for the session and the QT files.

Thank you guys for advise. This project is a copy from MIX 6.4 System. Time code rate is 23.976.QT movie flame rate is 23.98.
I checked offset as well. Also I don't see duplicate flames at the begining of movie. It's very strange.

Mix 6.4 systems won't do 23.976 fps. The option is there, but the hardware won't do it. Perhaps that's the problem.
