joking aside, anyone who's used final-cut-pro would recognise the start timecode as being the default for video editing in the US. it dates from the days of tape-based video editing; if the timecode started at all zeroes on a tape, you would have the so-called "midnight" problem wherein a VTR or edit controller wouldn't know which way to spool the tape to find.... um... anyway, the corresponding convention amongst UK video editors is 10:00:00:00.

it can be changed in the sequence settings of FCP, & probably therefore in logic too.
