Source Timecode in PE9?

How do I display timecored from my source video clips? All I see is the running time of my clips. Thanks for any help with this.

This is not a feature in Premiere Elements.
However, many people have been able to incorporate the free DV Date into their workflow.

BITC of the source timecode for playout

Hi,
I was wondering if there was a way in FCP 5 to play out a quicktime file which has BITC of the source timecode so that I can use it to double check with a conform that I will be doing on another system.
I don't know FCP very well so any help you guys may have would be greatfully appreciated. Im not getting handed the laptop with the offline edit until the director returns to the UK on Wednesday so I can't have a play around with it at the moment and am trying to get solutions sorted in my head before that.
All the best,
Ian

You can use a filter/generator on the clips that will super their original timecode... then export that as a QT movie.
It's in the video effects, video filters/ video submenu. TC reader...

Viewing source timecode in sequence

Could some kind person please remind me whether it is feasible to view the timecode of the source footage once it has been inserted into a sequence.
I am having to the re-lay sync audio in the timeline, and it would help if, when on a clip's in point on the the timeline, I knew exactly where it was on the source footage.
I'm sure I've done this in the past.
Age!

The Info panel will display the source timecode of every clip in all tracks that fall under the CTI (now playhead).

Is there a way to display and export SOURCE timecode in FCP X?

We need to burn DVDs with the SOURCE timecode of our media files displayed. So far, all we've found is a way to apply a Generator that reflects the PROJECT TC.

Sorry, but this is not possible in FCPX. They didn't include it.

Source Timecode lost when exporting

Hi,
just a quick question:
Hwo do I keep the sourcetimecode of a clip when I export it?
I have a bunch of Red clips which I need to stabilize but when I export them I lose the source timecode of my clips, why?

Thanks Brian... I did, I exported my sss.key into an sss.mov and I could run it 'manually' in QT (clicking on the screen change the slide.. good
In QT Pro, I have an option to export this sss.mov for the web : multi-files
sss.m4v, ReadMe.html, sss-poster.jpg, and sss.mov which is good for testing it embedded into html...
this is where I lost the +manual functionality+....

Source Timecode not preserved when making AC3 file

First of all, this is my first time using Compressor so it is very likely that I have overlooked the obvious!
I have created an AC3 Dolby Digital file in 5.1 from 6 wav files.
All has gone well and I can successfully create the file and play it back, when reimported, via the preview window.
My original 6 wav files all contain identical source timecodes.
The resulting AC3 file does not appear to have preserved the source timecode.
The preview window displays the timecode as starting from 00.00.00.00
I have also imported the AC3 file into Final Cut Pro and confirmed that the timecode starts at Zero.
My six original WAV files definitely have timecode.
I cannot find any setting in Compressor that will let me alter the resulting file's timecode.
If anybody could tell me what I have done wrong I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance
Adam

Having done a bit more investigation, I have found that AC3 files can have timecode embedded in them.
Unfortunately Compressor does not preserve the source timecode but writes it's own, starting at 00.00.00.00
Dolby Media Encoder SE (from Dolby) does give you the ability to preserve the source timecode - as do a couple of other programs - but they tend to be very expensive!
I am not sure but I think that Final Cut Pro does not recognise the source timecode of an AC3 file - maybe that's why the option is not given in Compressor ?
Thanks

Source timecode

I am having a problem making the source timecode show up in Premiere Pro CC 2014? Not sure what I need to do?

Can you describe what you want to do?
Are you looking for it in the Project Pane, or want to display it in the Viewer, etc.?

Source Timecode in canvas

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas why I cannot see the clip's source timecode in the canvas. The timecode spot in the top right hand corner shows the main timeline timecode. When I right click on the box and choose source timecode, nothing changes, even when I select the other option clip time. I get the source clip timecode in an overlay, but I wanted to see it in the canvas timecode spot.
Any ideas?
Thanks for any help!

thanks for the reply...
I was wanting to type in the timecode in the canvas of the source clip to match it up with the close-up camera timecode. I can do it the other way around, by using overlays and typing in the source timecode in the viewer, but it would make things easier to also be able to do it the other way around.

Quicktime Pro- Source Timecode

I was told that with Quicktime Pro you can view the original source timecode of footage originally captured in Final Cut Pro. Can someone take me step by step as I was given these instructions:
"This works with QT 6.5 PRO on a mac or PC. Open the QT file. Get movie properties. Select the video track from the left drop down and time code from the right drop down. You will see off-tape time displayed."
I tried following these instructions step by step but do not see any "off-tape time" display. I am also unclear what the "left drop down" and "right drop down" are? I've tried these steps with both a mac and pc but it doesn't seem intuitive. I would apppreciate if anyone could give a detailed response.
Thanks,
Alexander

Open the captured QuickTime movie in QuickTime Player Pro 6.5. Press Command-J (Mac) or Control-J (Windows). Watch this movie for the next steps...

or if you don't have the codec for the AVI watch this MOV...
http://www.automaticduck.com/screenshots/Windows65.mov
As you scrub through or play the movie the window updates with the timecode.
BTW, I tried this in QuickTime 7 (Mac) and I could not figure out how to display the timecode.

Final Cut Express not showing clip's source timecode

When I capture a clip and put it in the viewer the timecode window only reads the clip timecode (it always starts at zero then goes till the duration of the clip) even if I change the setting to show source timecode it stays the same. Odd because I can batch digitize offline clips perfectly. It just won't show me the clip's source timecode. Very fustrating. How do I fix this?

FCE does not read the tape timecode - you need FCP for that.
However, Piero has made a nice FREE filter that will do the job:-

CS5 Premiere: Timecode Help Needed: Needing to transcribe using source timecode

Is there a way to change the timecode overall for all of the imported clips in Premiere to reveal the source timecode after importing footage from an external hard drive? Each of the imported clips continue to start at 0, even after selecting 'Use Media Source' from Preferences_Media. I am transcribing a few hours of footage and need to have it continually showing the timecode from the source instead of starting at 0 for each clip. Any help would be great. Thanks!

Each of the imported clips continue to start at 0, even after selecting 'Use Media Source' from Preferences_Media.
If you load a single clip into the Source Monitor, it should show you the media timecode. That won't happen by default in a Sequence or in the Program Monitor. To see source media timecode in the timeline, you'll need to add the Timecode effect to all of the clips in your sequence. It defaults to the timecode from the source media, so the effect's timecode display should update as you go from clip to clip in the timeline. The overall sequence timecode will still start at zero (or whatever starting timecode you designate).

Quicktime- Match Source Timecode

Hi,
Im getting transcripts of footage that I shot and digitized into Final Cut Pro HD. My transcriptor only has a PC so I copied all the quicktime media files onto a PC-compatible hard drive, but I just realized when opening the quicktime files on the PC that the timecode for each media file begins at zero as opposed to the timecode originally on the source tape. Before, when I had a few transcripts done, I would add the clip to my FCP timeline, lay Timecode effect over it, render, export as an mpeg1 with compressor, then burn the mpeg1 file to dvd. This was a time-consuming process that I dont want to go through again. Now I have dozens of hours of footage Im getting transcripted, so I need a simple and quick way to have quicktime files with matching source timecode.
My questions are:
1. Is source timecode written onto the quicktime file itself, or embedded within FCP files?
2. Is there an option/preference in quicktime to view source timecode?
3. What other simple solutions are there to have quicktime files with matching source timecode?
Thanks,
Alexander

1) Source timecode is stored in the Quicktime file as a track. FCP project file then references it.
2) Yes/No. There are ways of displaying the timecode external to FCP. The excellent Sebsky Tools (free) and also an old Quicktime app from Apple that switches the display flag for the timecode. However, you have to re-export the whole movie to get one with the time code displayed.
3)Don't really understand this. Sorry. Do you mean you want to export from FCP Quicktime files that reference the original timecode? You can do this, but it depends how you do it.
Say if you put a captured clip in a sequence and you export the Sequence then it will have new timecode starting from 00. Since the timecode reflects the sequence itself.
If you trim the clip and right click on the clip itself and export then it will have the timecode of the original captured media starting and ending from the trim points. I.e. not 00.
You can't have a sequence containing multiple trimmed captured media to have timecode reflecting the original media. The timecode would have to jump all over the place. The only way you can do it is burn it in.
If you already know all of this I apologise. Like I said I didn't really understand what you were getting at.

Premiere Pro CC won't read media source timecode?

We recently switched over some of our editing systems to Premiere Pro CC, but for some reason Premiere Pro CC isn't reading the timecode from our source footage. It works fine in CS6 and CS5, but on each of the CC systems, even though the timecode preference is set to "Use Media Source" the timecode that is displayed in the project window, the source window and even in the timeline with a timecode window effect added and set to media, the time code that is displayed starts from 0 as though it's set for "generate" or in preferences, "Start From 00:00:00:00."
All of our source footage is recorded on XDCam or DVCPro 100 and we've been using Premiere since CS5 without issue. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Can you upload a short clip somewhere for us to take a look at?
BTW, exactly which version of CC are you on?

Finding source timecode in sequence

I'm trying out CS6 coming from a Avid background. (My issue with CS 6 is a
I edited a 40 minute location shot into a sequence, now I need to insert graphics into the sequence based on timecode from the original source clip.
-I do see the "sequence" TC displayed but I really need to see the source TC so that I can input the TC number that I need to go to.
Any suggestions for a work-around

I agree. We need source TC overlays for Source and Record Monitors. Please make a feature request: http://www.adobe.com/go/wish
In the mean time, you can use the Timecode window. Choose Window > Timecode and select the video track you want in the Panel menu. That will show you Source TC in the sequence.

Cinema tools film list export - source timecode?

We have a film that's been a real headache, we're exporting film lists from FCP linked to the CT database.
Is it possible to show source clip timecode instead of sequence timecode in the time column of the cut list or the pull list?
It would save us a lot of time, as is we have to go back and forth between the EDL and the film list.
