As described in this post: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/vegas-21-timecode-isn-t-working--142348/ the timecode is still not working for the files I am uploading.

Screenshot from VP22:

Hi,

did the timecode really worked for your GH6 files in VP20? I have a GH5, GH5M2 and a HC-X1500 and the QT MOV timecode was never read correctly in VP from version 15 to 21. It always looked like in your screenshot. Haven't tried 22 yet.

I wrote a script that uses ExifTool, maybe it helps until this is natively possible in VP.
