Problem summary Timelines starting at 23:59:50:00 causes issues with setting the current timecode and importing footage starting past 00:00:00:00.
For example, when users receive timelines that have 10 seconds lead in, the sequence start at 00:00:00:00 the timeline will start at 23:59:50:00 Hiero & Nuke Studio handle this, and jump from ->00:00:00:00 on a 24 fps feature.
But if you have a timeline that starts at 23:59:50:00 then you cannot use the "Set current timecode feature" as it will think that the timecode is before the start point.
Another example, the Playhead should move here ( Orange Timeline line ) when typing 00:00:00:00 in the highlighted timecode area:
It actually moves to 23:59:50:00, which is the incorrect behaviour.
Steps to reproduce
1) Open NukeStudio/Hiero, create a new Sequence.
2) Within the Sequence settings, set the 'Start Timecode' to '23:59:50:00'
3) Move the Timeline to a later position.
4) Set the 'Current Timecode' to '00:00:00:00'
Result: NukeStudio/Hiero current timecode will be set to '23:59:50:00', when it should be set to '00:00:00:00'
Workaround Use a 'Start Timecode' of '00:00:00:00', start footage at '00:00:10:00' if you would like 10 seconds before the shot.

Earliest version tested - This issue appears to be in all versions of the product
Expected behaviour When setting the timeline to '00:00:00:00' in a NukeStudio/Hiero project with a 'Start Timecode' of '23:59:50:00', the timeline should be set AFTER the timecode, not beforehand.
Actual behaviour The current timecode is set beforehand, making it theoretically 23 hours out of place.
