I'm VERY new to Avid, so could someone please help me out here. I am also using the DEMO version of TEP HD to try it out before I buy.

I have made a couple of logs with TEP HD and exported them as an Avid ALE file. However, when I set up TEP HD, the only choices I was given (for TimeCode Mode) are NTSC Drop Frame, NTSC NON-Drop Frame, Film, and PAL. My Avid projects are set up as 1080/59.97. When I try to import the ALE file, I get the error that states the ALE file is NTSC and the Avid project is NOT NTSC. So, the ALE file will not import. (And NO, I am NOT using a PAL setting in Avid!)

Does the FULL VERSION of TEP HD give more Timecode options? If not, HOW do I import these ALE files into Avid?

I have tried calling the TEP HD office, but no one is answering the phone. If I can get this program to work properly, we may end up buying 6-8 copies of for all of our different computers.

Thanks for any help.

The ALE exports from TEP have only the 4 traditional choices. We've not expanded the timecode choices because there doesn't appear to be a way to pass linked video information to Avid via a list.

The ALE file type assumes the editor will be batch capturing video from tape.

We are hopeful Avid has addressed this issue with it's newer MC system, but haven't gotten a reply from them with the needed information.

TEPHD can be used to log P2 material and save back into the P2 format, which will import into Avid.
