Set timecode to start at 0?

Is there any way to set the timecode for a movie imported into Compressor to start at 00:00:00:00?
I have some home movies in MPEG-2 format. I trimmed about 45 seconds off the beginning of my first movie and then imported the movie into compressor. I also have a chapter marker file that has all the chapters for the movie. The chapter marker timecodes start at 0, which is good, but Compressor is showing that my movie starts with a timecode of 45 seconds, so the chapters are all off by 45 seconds. I could go edit all the chapter files for all the movies and add the amount that I trimmed off the beginning, but it would be so much easier if I could set the timecode in Compressor back to zero.

Nope. I opened 20+ movies, some that I created, some that I converted, some that I bought from the iTunes Music Store and not one of them had a timecode track. I see video, sound, text, closed caption, etc., but no timecode tracks.
However, I was going straight into Compressor and not using Final Cut Pro so I decided to bring my movie into Final Cut Pro first. I was able to adjust the timecode to 0 in Final Cut Pro and then export to Compressor. In Compressor I read the chapter marker file and everything works the way I want it to. It did seem to export quite a bit slower though.

  • Importing C100 AVCHD footage (timecode, media start, clip names)

    I primarily shoot and edit AVCHD footage from Canon C100. Typical ingest workflow is to use the Data Import Utility by Pixela. This creates individual .MTS files on my with unique file names (GREAT)...BUT when I bring the files into PP CS6 it sets the media start time for each clip at 00:00:00:00 (essentially wiping out the timecode reference). Alternatively, if I simply copy entire contents of the card to my raid then use the Media Browser in PP to import the footage, the timecode—and media start time—is maintained from the shoot (GREAT)...BUT the individual clip names that it assigns always start with 00000.mts, 00001.mts and so on). This creates a problem when relinking footage...because now I've got multiple projects with the same file names. Any ingest workflow recommendations?
    Appreciate your perspective(s).
    ~ Brian

    Use the original media, which gives you the timecode, and upgrade to CC, which gives you the new Link and Locate feature, making relinking a breeze.

  • How to Set A Default Start Time For New Events In Calendar?

    How to Set A Default Start Time For New Events In Calendar?

    John,
    Thanks for that suggestion - could not get it to work. However, I did manage a different approach. I finally determined the sequence of events in terms of how the various events and listeners fire (I think).
    Basically, the CalendarActivityListener fires, followed by the listener associated with the Calendar object's Create facet, followed finally by the CalendarEventListener - the final is where the TriggerEvent is available and then finally, control is passed to the popup/dialog in the Create facet. So, my approach of trying to set/get the TriggerDate in the user's HTTP session was doomed to failure because it was being get before it had been set :(
    Anyway, I ended up adding a bit of code to the CalendarEvent listener - it grabs the current BindingContext, navigates through the DCBindingContainer to derive an Iterator for the ViewObject which drives the calendar and then grabs the currently active row. I then do a few tests to make sure we're working with a "new" row because I don't want to alter start & end dates associated with an existing calendar entry and then I define the Start and End dates to be the Trigger Date.
    Works just fine. Snippet from the listener follows
    BindingContext bindingContext = BindingContext.getCurrent();+
    *if ( bindingContext != null )    {*+
    DCBindingContainer dcBindings = (DCBindingContainer) bindingContext.getCurrentBindingsEntry();+
    DCIteratorBinding iterator = dcBindings.findIteratorBinding("EventsView1Iterator");+
    Row currentRow = iterator.getCurrentRow();+
    if ( currentRow.getAttribute("StartDate") == null)+
    currentRow.setAttribute("StartDate", calendarEvent.getTriggerDate());+
    if (currentRow.getAttribute("EndDate")==null)+
    currentRow.setAttribute("EndDate", calendarEvent.getTriggerDate());+
    *}*

  • BIAPPS how can we manually set both ETL start date and end date?

    Dears experts,
    how can we manually set both ETL start date and end date while conducting incremental load IN DAC?
    Please advise me.
    thanks,
    Joe.

    You can set those dates in the DAC system parameters tab. You should see lots of $$xxxxxx parameters.
    If I may, I'd suggest you use the OBI Applications forum for questions on DAC.

  • How can i set my calendar start from Monday NOT Sunday like it is now?

    How can i set my calendar start from Monday NOT Sunday like it is now?

    Read this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/11501621#11501621
    For example, if you set the Regional format to United Kingdom, the days will be re-ordered but it will have other effects as well which you probably don't want.

  • Key Command troubles: Set Region/Event Start to SPL Position not working?

    Hello,
    I'm simply trying to find a key command that will allow me to move regions quickly from one part of a song to another without dragging with them with the mouse in the arrange window. I thought I found the solution with the key command "Set Region/Event Start to SPL Position", however it doesn't seem to be doing anything!
    Here's what I've tried: First I select the region I want to move, then I move my SPL to a location using the "go to Position" key command and typing in a bar. I then try to use the "Set Region/Event Start to SPL Position" key command (which I set to Shift-Control-L) and nothing happens. Shouldn't it be moving my region to the SPL? Note: the region is still selected, but refuses to move. Am I doing something wrong? Is this not what this key command was designed to do?
    In my attempts to get the darn thing to work, I also discovered that lock screen-set (Shift-L) key command also does not seem to work (it is not toggling the black dot after the screen-set number like usual). Does this mean my key commands may be corrupted? (which would be a real drag!!) Oddly enough, these are the two are the only two that do not seem to be working, as all others seem to be working fine (AFAIK).
    I've had this problem in the past with the lock screen-set key command not working, and rebuild all key commands and templates when I upgraded to tiger. I thought everything was working fine!
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help!!

    I assigned F5 to two functions. In the key commands
    window, pressing F5 highlighted the first assignment.
    Pressing it again highlighted the second assignment.
    So just keep pressing the key to see whether it's
    assigned to more than one command...
    Well, now when I type "Shift-L" into the finder in the top right of the key commands window, no key commands at all are show. However, which I search for the word "lock," the lock screenset key command comes up as "Shift-L." Oddly, if I search any other key commands (such as F1, "cmd-k," or even other shift ones like "shift-," the associated key commands show up.
    To test, I changed the screen set lock from Shift-L to "opt-ctrl-L" and it now works again. However, it still will not come up in the key commands window through searching by "opt-ctrl-L"
    On what may be a side note, the search feature seems very buggy! Tell me if I'm doing this right: First I open the key commands window, which opens with nothing selected. Now, in order to search by key command I go up to the top right corner where the magnifying glass is, place my curser inside and type in the key command correct? When I do this, it shows me the highlighted key command in the left, and my curser is no longer flashing up in the magnifying glass, correct?
    Now, in order to search again, I have to place my curser in the search field again, right? However, now when I search by key command, not all of them register! For example, my "go to position" key command is simply ; but when I type it, nothing comes up in the search, and instead of the magnifying glass window being blank like before, the actual ; is in the box. Oddly enough, searching with "Cmnd-K" still works!
    What is going on? Am I doing something wrong? How do I fix this, as it is very frustrating!! thanks again for your help

  • Insert clip at timecode media start?

    Yes, I have looked all over for this question, too.
    How can I tell premiere to insert a clip onto my timeline at the timecode start? 
    -MrD

    Not much faster, but if you select a clip in a sequence and type in a timecode, e.g. your clip's start time, the clip will move to that time.
    Do it like this:
    Make the Info panel visible.
    Add all your clips to a sequence, one after another, in chronological order.
    Click the fly-out menu in the Timeline Panel, select "Start Time," and specify a time that matches the first frame of your first clip.
    Go to the in point of the last clip in the sequence, and select the clip.
    While viewing the Info panel, type in the timecode that is displayed for the frame of that clip; this will cause that clip to jump to that timecode in the sequence.
    Repeat for each additional clip.
    Instead of the Info panel, you could also apply the Timecode effect with "Media" set as the Timecode Source; that way, you'll have a head's-up reference to the clip's current time.

  • WEIRD! Lost timecode "media start"

    My timecode from imported P2 material all went to 00:00:00:00 as the "media start" .... I remember it was all right as I recorded it in the field a few days ago and even remember it being right when I imported .... anyone know what could have happened?

    I don't know what could have happened between the field and the import if it was recorded properly in the field, but I'd say head over to the Creative Cow forum- there's a whole lotta' good stuff regarding P2 peculiarities there.
    I hesitate to suggest, but is it possible the TC wasn't okay in the field? I only ask because I received a bunch of tapes the other day which the camera assistant insisted were recorded fine, but it turns out his display was set to control track, so when he thought he was recording TC he wasn't. A long shot, but just in case.
    I hope that's not the case and that you get this worked out.
    Good luck,
    Joni

  • Setting timecode

    hello, i'm attempting to black a tape in order use the edit to tape feature in FCP, and i need to set the starting timecode on the deck itself to 00:00:58:00. I am using a Sony HVR-M15U HDV deck. If anyone has experience with this please help. Thank you.

    You cannot EDIT TO TAPE to HDV...only PRINT TO VIDEO. Because HDV needs to conform back to a GOP format when you output back to HDV.
    HDV isn't a mastering format. You cannot set up timecode the same way you can other formats. If you shoot with HDV, you generally master out to another HD format, like DVCPRO HD or HDCAM.

  • Setting timecode on tape

    Hi all, im working on Final Cut 5.1.4
    I am writing a project to DVCAM on my DSR-11 for broadcast
    Only thing is that the distributor wants the time code for project media itself to start at 01:00:00;00 but also have my slate and color bars to begin at 00:58:30;00 before the project. I set my time code in my timeline to reflect this but when I write to tape its begins timecode at 00:00:00;00 thus making the project media start at 00:01:30;00
    How can I write the timecode to the tape to start at 00:58:30;00?
    Thanks!

    TC to DSR-11
    Since FCP 4 we have been unable to stripe a new TC such as 00:58:00:00 or 01:58:00:00 to a DVCAM tape with the DSR-11. NO MORE!! I think I found a solution.
    Get SimpleVideoOut from the Apple (its free):
    http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/SimpleVideoOut/SimpleVideoOut.html
    Then create a QT Movie in FCP or Xpress Pro from a sequence which has the starting TC you want on the tape. I just tried it with 00:58:00:00. In the timeline, I just put Bars & Tone for 90 seconds and a black slug for 45 (to take me over 01:00:00:00). You could create a sequence with whatever combination you wanted with the TC set to start at whatever timecode you need for your choice. But the Timeline TC MUST be set to your desired starting code. The exported QT file will have this TC in it.
    Then load this DV QT movie into SimpleVideoOut (having selecting Firewire / Apple Firewire PAL or NTSC when you open the app).
    Now load a fresh DVCAM tape and set your DSR-11 to:
    REC MODE = DVCAM
    DV IN TC = EXTERNAL
    (Have the TC display turned on for this first test so you can verify it has worked.)
    Then just hold the REC and PLAY buttons together on the DSR-11 and press play in the SimpleVideoOut app and the new TC will be recorded to your DVCAM tape. Hey presto you are now able to stripe a tape with what ever timecode you want using a DSR-11.
    Remember to turn 'DV IN TC' back to INTERNAL on the DSR-11 when you come to record your edit to tape.
    The problem with the DSR-11 is that it is not the best deck and starting recording at the exact TC, but playing with the pre-rolls should eventually get it spot on. I have had some success with FCP's 'Edit to Tape' and very good results with Avid Xpress Pro after a few tweaks.
    Also, if you just had a black QT file, you can change the starting TC to suite the tape; i.e. 00:58:00:00 or 02:58:00:00 etc without going back into FCP or Xpress Pro and rendering out another QT. To do this, just use Sebsky Tools to alter the starting TC of the file.

    I set the At End menu to Timeout, set the seconds to the same as the time for the song playing in the background to finish, and set the Action to go to the Track where the video is. The song ends but it just remains on the Main menu. The video doesn't start.

    put the code (that's not in a function body and excluding variable declarations and import statements) in a function body and call it using the timer class.
