Setting Session Time Code Rate in PT8

[gives]

Can anyone tell me how to spot imported AAF or OMF in a session that came from the editor as 720/59.94? I understand how to import the files and they play fine, but still not able to figure out how to spot file as it says in this info from Digi Tech Support by setting the frame rate of my session to 1/2 of the imported Video and audio files the editor is providing. It's says to set your current session to 29.97 ?? Is that correct? Still does not spot correctly.

Here is the information they sent yesterday afternoon once I spoke with them. Thanks in advance for the help anyone:) G


Setting Session Time Code Rate
for HD QuickTime and HD Windows
Media Video Import

When playing back QuickTime and Windows
Media video with frame rates higher than 30 fps,
Pro Tools syncs properly only if the Time Code
Rate in the Session Setup window is set to half of
the video frame rate of the video files.

For example, to properly play back QuickTime
or Windows Media HD video at 59.94 fps,
change the session’s Time Code Rate to 29.97
frames per second.

To set the session’s Time Code Rate:
1 Choose Setup > Session.

2 In the Session Setup window, select the appropriate
time code rate in the Time Code Rate popup
menu.



Time Code (Pro Tools HD and Pro Tools LE with
Complete Production Toolkit or DV Toolkit 2
Only) Displays the Time Scale in SMPTE frames.

The Time Code Rate and Session Start time are
set from the Session Setup window. The Time
Code Time Scale is absolute, based on the frame
rate.

Pro Tools supports the following frame rates:
• 23.976 FPS
• 24 FPS
• 25 FPS
• 29.97 FPS
• 29.97 FPS Drop
• 30 FPS
• 30 FPS Drop


Secondary Time Code Ruler (Pro Tools HD and
Pro Tools LE with Complete Production Toolkit or
DV Toolkit 2 Only) <- - - -

A secondary time code ruler,
labeled Time Code 2, lets you reference video
frame rates in the Timeline that are different
from the session Time Code rate. However, you
cannot Spot to the Time Code 2 ruler and it cannot
be set as the Main Time Scale. The secondary
time code ruler can be set to show any Pro Tools
supported frame rate. The Time Code 2 ruler can
also display the following additional frame
rates:


• 50 FPS
• 59.94 FPS
• 59.94 FPS Drop
• 60 FPS
• 60 FPS Drop
