I would love it if, when you open the Timecode Calculator in Media Composer, that it defaults to the time base of the current project. Currently (as it always has) the Calculator defaults to 30fps time base. So, if you're in a PAL country, the first thing you have to do when you open the Calculator window in the current project, is to change the
