Time Code and original Clip Name

I was wondering if there is a way to render your footage out of Color keeping original Time Code and clip name?
The reason I ask is because if someone were to create an edit and it may or may not be from FCP, then they give me an EDL (EDL 01) with no speed ramps or transitions etc.. and they also export an EDL (EDL 02) with all of the effects they had within the edit. I take the EDL 1 and color it. Render everything out. And then the online editor reconnects everything to the EDL 02....
Also I am not sure where you can even view time code while looking at your media in your timeline?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Jesse

Sorry, TC does carry through.
I guess my only question is then, how do you keep your original Clip Name when you render??

Import clips into FCP X version 10.0.8 and keep the original clip names

Can you Import clips into FCP X version 10.0.8 and keep the original clip names in the event original media folder? in version 10.0.8 it automatically allocates date / time of the event. I need it to keep the original clip name i:e Clip0100 event folder original media Clip0100. I am aware you can change the clip name to original once in FCP X, But it's the event folder original media name which I want to remain as the original file name.

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the response.
I am aware you can do this change in the Info inspector so the original clip name from camera is used in the event library browser, but it does not change the clip name in the Final Cut Events Original Mieda file. This still remains as an event clip name "2013-05-23 17_08_13". I need the original clip name Clip0100 to remain as Clip0100 at import. FCP X doesn't seem to allow this happen any more in version 10.0.8.
Cheers

Naming clip without altering the original clip name

Hi
I'm looking for a way to naming a clip without altering the original clip name.
For example:
I've got a clip called D066_140825_001_AA1663, which I need to preserve. But I would like to add an additonal name in a different box.
Ideally it would look something like this:
Name                                        Description
D066_140825_001_AA1663     Erica is moving the sofa
D066_140825_001_AA1664     Erica is driving
D066_140825_001_AA1665     Erica and John meets
etc.
I see that in the Premiere project window there's a row called Description. Are there a way for me to add a clip description from Prelude, or name the clips in any other way?

Can't find time code from original footage (captured from mini-DV tape)

Hi. I'm Old to mac, new to FCE, good at iMovieHD ('06). Just got FCE (4.0.1).
Imported some footage (a few random practice clips) from a mini-DV tape I shot, but I can only see the time coding for each clip, not where that clip begins and ends in terms of the entire one hour mini-DV tape.
My log is for the entire mini-DV. So this is a problem.
I suppose I could re-import the entire 60 minute mini-DV tape from the start, but shouldn't the time code be embedded into each frame?
Help much appreciated.

You can try the free filter FCE Timecode Display with its default settings to display the original timecode of each clip.

Time code and line input

Greetings all,
I am trying to import 16X9 beta footage into my FCP. Since I don't have a Kona card or other direct imput device, I am having to go through my JVC BR-HD50 tape deck as a line input. Then set the FCP to import from a noncontrolable device. It works, with only one problem. I obviously can't get the original timecode that way. Is there a way to change the time code once it's in FCP or, is there a way to do it as it is being brought in?
Any hideas?

Sure. Determine what it should be in each clip you capture, then select a clip, and from the modify menu, select timecode... it will change it in the media file to be what's on the tape.

Trying to write an Automator program to find files with same time created and change file names to matching source folder names

I am failrly green when it comes to automator.
I am trying to write an Automator program:
Not sure where to post this
trying to write an Automator program to find files and alter their names
I have a source folder with correct named master files in it.
eg. A0001_1234.mpeg
time created 14:02:03
date 07/07/2012
Another folder where there will be copies of the master files in a different format with different names but created at the same time as a file in the source directory.
they are created with a seperate device but they are
A0000001.mp4
time created 14:02:03
date 07/07/2012
I need it to then take the name from the source fies and apply the correct name to the matching file based on the time it was created.
I can't seem to find actions in automator that reference time crated.
Is this something I will be able to Do in automator?
Any help would be great
Thanks

Hi,
It's impossible to do this without any script in Automator.
Use this AppleScript script :
set source to choose folder with prompt "Select the source folder"
set anotherfolder to choose folder with prompt "Choose the another folder"
tell application "Finder"
    repeat with tfile in (get files of source)
        set cDate to creation date of tfile
        set findFiles to (files of anotherfolder whose creation date is cDate)
        if findFiles is not {} then
            set tName to name of tfile
            set name of item 1 of findFiles to tName
        end if
    end repeat
end tell

Synchronizing Multi-clip using 2 Sets of Time codes

i have some concert footage I want to edit using Multi clips...
They are all time coded....
We shot close ups in the afternoon of all songs and then the same songs again in the night .
The after-noun songs have one time code and sync great in a multi clip..same as the night ones but have different time codes....
HOW do i get the afternoun and night clips into one Multi clip ,all in sync...????? using time codes?
ROB

Did all camera rolls run throughout the entire song? Or did you have starts and stops at different points of the song.
If you're using 'Inpoints' as your sync reference, all you should have to do is set an inpoint on each camera take. The differing timecodes won't matter, just that your inpoints are all at an initial sync point.

I have changed the name and password for my Time Capsule and now the Time Machine will not connect

Mac Book Pro
1TB Time Capsule.
Yesterday I changed the name and password on my time capsule and also the name and password of the wifi network as I was having problems with the speed of the internet when using Safari on any of my devices (1 Macbook pro, 1 macbook air, 27" iMac, iPhone and iPad) all other internet services were working fine (email etc.) This seems to have solved the problem.
However, since then, my time machine back ups will not reconnect and there is no option for me to reconnect to the existing back up for my macbook pro.
When I enter the time machine preferences it shows as below that there are no back ups.
Then, when I go to select a drive to use which should be the MacBook under the Backup disks the only option is for me to Remove Disk...
So, my question is, how do I reconnect to an existing Time Machine back up for my MacBook pro as I really do not want to erase and start all over again.
Warning - In my naiveté, I did click on the MacBook in 'Available Disks' but I got the impression that it was about to start a whole new back up and not work with the existing one.
(And does anybody have an inkling as to why there was a problem with Safari on all my devices? I downloaded Google Chrome and that worked fine).

Simply reset the Time Machine.
See A4 here http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
You can then mount the TC disk in finder after you reboot the computer.
You should be able to reselect the TC disk and then it will say it is going to start a new backup.
Ignore this.. when the TM actually loads the TC disk it will discover the existing backup and continue the backup.. but it will give no hint until it actually starts that it won't start a new backup. you just have to believe it won't.. and mostly it works..
Please also install the widget A1 so you have some idea what TM is doing.

Time code concerns

I want to capture video from mini dv to my external hard drive. I am unable to batch capture because the tape has time code breaks. If I capture the entire one hour tape with capture settings set for non-controllable device (under device control) will it create a new time code.. or will I end up with a quicktime file that has time code breaks in it? If I want to split the one hour tape up into segments divided by date and maintain time code settings so that I can use the tape as a backup if the hard drive crashes... what is the best way to do this? Will splitting one big one hour quicktime file into several smaller ones cause any problems? I'm thinking that the smaller clips will be easier to keyword and find the clip I'm looking for in future projects.
Thanks!

I'm having difficulty capturing that way from the beginning.. working with tape seems very slow for finding the in and out points as it winds/rewinds .. Batch capturing also isnt working due to inadequate pre-clip time code and/or breaks.. I'm thinking that just setting the tape to run for an hour. and then splitting it up into further clips in quicktime or fcp after is a bit easier to do from the quicktime files..
1. Im not sure why my transferred tapes comes up with a few breaks.. the tape timecode starts at 0 and ends at 60 so even if I captured with non controllable device and it takes it from 0 to 60 my time code should be correct? If I dont use non-controllable.. where do I set the settings to record a new clip upon finding time code break automatically?
2. Does assembling a new edited clip by cutting and pasting pieces of larger clips together in either quicktime or fcp maintain the original timecode of the clip from the tape?
3. Is there a place to locate the date encoded on the film.. I press a button on the camera and it brings up the date, but the date doesnt show on the film, where does fcp record this encoded date info?
thanks!

Output visible timeline time code thru firewire?

I shot a corporate video on DV tape and made a time code burn-in DVD so the client can give me an edit decision list, but the client is too busy so he wants me to cut down the original footage with a preliminary edit and get another DVD with time code burn in.
I want to output visible time code of captured clips on my timeline thru firewire to a DVCAM deck in FCP 4.5. I can view the time code in the canvas ("show time code overlays"), but is there a way to output (burn-in) visible time code back to tape?

It's a filter Timecode Generator or Timecode Reader, you'll want the TCReader.
MainMenuBar/Effects/Video Filters/Video/Timecode Reader.
K
Edit
TCReader will reference the originally captured clip timecode
TCGenerator will reference the TC of individual clips in the timeline (from start of each clip to end of each clip...each starting at 00:00:00:00), so if you want to reference one long TC from the timeline, you'd have to nest it first.

FCP7 HELP - Exported quicktime mov plays differently than what I edited on the timeline. The playback shows the clips with ins and outs that are different than what I set in the clips when I edited - some are too early and the clips don't playback

Please help ASAP.
Specs: IOS 10.6.8
Processor 2.4GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 -- Everything is edited, sourced, and stored on an 2TB external hard drive to make things go faster.
Editing with FCP 7
When I export the sequence I edited with quicktime, the playback video is very different from what I edited on the timeline. The playback has the clips with ins and outs that are way off than what I cut, and some of the clips don't show at all or have changed transitions. However when I play in the timeline in FCP, the sequence is fine, just the way I cut it.
The source of the clips was one long .mov that I cut into clips for the timeline. Everything has gone smoothly but the exported .mov is just so different.
How can I get the time codes of the clips to be the same in the exported .movs? I just want the quicktime .mov to represent my edit exactly.
This video is due tomorrow - if the solution is too time consuming, can I play within the FCP player window and Log and Capture?
Thanks,
MV

What is your source material? Is it H.264? FCP does not work correctly with that material.
Click on a source clip in the FCP Browser, and once selected, type Command + 9 to see the item properties for the clip. Either report those properties, or take a screen shot of the item properties, and post that here.
Next, click anywhere in your timeline, and then type Command + 0 {zero} to see your Sequence Settings. Either report those Sequence Settings, or take a screen shot of the Sequence Settings and post that here.

Remove Clip Name from Video

Hello,
I'm relatively new to using Premiere Pro. I have a video I am preparing for use on the web. After editing and saving as an .mp4 file, when I play it, using Windows Media Player, briefly (three seconds or so) it shows the Clip Name (file name) in the upper left hand area of the video. How can I stop this behavior?
Thank you for any and all help.

Thank you joe bloe!
For at least the past four hours, I have been searching Adobe Forums, Google, and checking everything under the sun within PP! I didn't find how to disable this under preferences for Media Player, but I did open up Quick Time and the Clip Name (file name) isn't there.
If you have the time, could you share the path to the Media Player > Preferences > Disable the Clip Name. I'm using Win 7 Professional, IE 10.
Again, thank you!

Preserve clip name from Premiere?

Hi,
Does anyone know a trick or script to preserve a clip name from Premiere when pasting into AE?
Not the file name, which is all I'm getting, but what you have renamed it in Premiere.
I know of renaming scripts for AE, but it's a bit of a pain to name clips twice.
It seems an easy bit of metadata to just follow your clips.
Thanks,
Andrew
