Timecode Burn on Screen

I shot a project using the P2 solid state memory cards. I am going to perform an off-line edit using my laptop by transferring the footage to miniDV. Can I burn the timecode from the P2 footage when I transfer to minDV? My timecode is all over the place. I deleted a few takes on set that were throw away takes so that throws my TC off a bit.
If anybody has any better ideas on how to perform an off-line edit of P2 footage by all means point it out to me.
thanks,
cja

No need to downconvert to DV. DVCPRO HD at 720p will work on a firewire drive. Firewire 800 would be better, but 400 will work. If 1080p DVCPRO HD, then firewire 800 will be fine. Or get an eSATA drive unit like the CalDigit S2VR DUO, or G-SATA from G-Tech, and a PCIexpress eSATA card.
Editing DVCPRO HD is a breeze...no offline needed. Besides, you can't get window burn by media managing the footage, but, if you DID media manage the footage to DV res, it would retain the TC of the original clips.
But you don't need to...

How do I turn off timecode burn in

I'm up to page 140 of the manual, methodically working my way through Premiere, and tried Timecode burn in. Worked well. But how do I turn it off? No explanaiton anywhere in the manual or online as far as I can find.
This timecode thing has got me confused. My GH2 hasn't got timecode as far as I'm aware. Yet timecode is appearing all over the place in Premiere. On p141 of the manual it states: "If you have the Source panel selected, the Timecode panel will display source timecode." Well, I didn't think my source had timecode, but timecode is being displayed. Why?
I'm now up to page 144, and a similar problem has appeared with In and Out points. I can set them in the Project Window, and a yellow bar appears on the clip icon, and a green bar in the Source Window, showing the extent of the In/Out setup. I can delete the In/Out setup by Control-clicking on the green bar, and then the yellow bar also disappears. That's all okay. But I can't work out how to delete the In/Out points in the Icon in the Project Window from within the Icon, the place I originally set them up.

Timecode burn-in is an effect applied in the Timeline in order to
display clip (or sequence) timecode within the video preview of the clip.
To turn off timecode burn-in, you disable or delete the effect.
View timecode as a burn-in
"If you have the Source panel selected, the Timecode panel
will display source timecode." Well, I didn't think my source
had timecode, but timecode is being displayed. Why?
The 'Timecode Panel' is different from a timecode burn-in.
The panel can be activated by checking it in the 'Window' menu.
Your source clip's timecode will be displayed in the timecode window
whle the Source Monitor is selected or playing.
If the clip has no embedded timecode,
the counter will assume that the clip begins @00:00:00:00.
View timecode in the Timecode panel (CS6)

A screen capture of what you are seeing here might help.

In itunes 10.6, when I click to burn a cd, it takes 10 minutes for the "Burn Settings" screen that allows me to choose which cd burner to use to be displayed. I have tried setting the UpperFilters to "GEARAspiWDM" and LowerFilters to null. Any suggestion

Many thanks for the diagnostics.
Failed while scanning for CD / DVD drives, error 2380.
Error while opening iTunes CD driver. This could be caused by a corrupted iTunes file or a conflict with other older CD burning applications, either currently installed or previously installed and uninstalled incorrectly.
With that one, I'd start with solution 3 from the following document:
iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install

Can you do a timecode burn-in in iMovie?

i need to output my project with a timecode burn-in
is there any way to do this in imovie?

Hi
I only get this by another way of Capture/Import from Camera with TimeCode/Date present.
It (timecode) don't migrate over via FireWire for my set-up BUT via analog out on Camera to an A/D-box
and from this via FireWire into iMovie.
A/D-box I use is a Canopus/Grass Valley ADVC-300 - for several reasons - but there are cheaper solutions.

How to export quicktime with timecode burn?

I am scoring a film (in Pro Tools HD) and the editor isn't quite sure how to export the film to a quicktime movie with timecode burned in (i believe that's the term for timecode being visible on the preview...?). I don't know what version of FCP he's on but I was hoping someone could give me some generalized instructions I could give him.
Also, if I have to compress the video to slipstream the processing/reading in pro tools, will I retain proper timecode? thanks!

He would have to change the Timecode offset value under the Filters tab in the Browser.
Find a scene that starts on a hard cut, say 1 minute or so into the movie. Note the timecode.
Your guy then fiddles around with the beginning, making it 6 seconds and 8 frames shorter.
Go back to the reference cut and you will see that its TC has changed by that much.
Adjust the Offset parameter to match. This has to be done by entering the number of frames. You can use positive and negative values as required, which will also cover for the changed scenes turning out longer than they were originally.

Timecode burn in for dalies?

I've got about 40 min of 50Mb LongGOP MXF files captured from a Nanoflash drive that I'd like to cook into a BluRay or DVD with a timecode window burn displaying the timecode of the source material using Premiere CS 5.0.2.
My approach was to drag all the files onto a sequence, nest that sequence into new sequence, drop the timecode effect onto the new sequence and render it out but the timecode displayed just references the nested sequence and not the original timecode of the source files themselves even if I select "media" from the timecode source. I get the same results when trying to apply the timecode burn to a transparent video layer.
I can select all the files in the original sequence and then drag/drop the timecode effect on them but it defaults to "clip" as the timecode source and it looks like I'd have to change it for every single clip (not practical).
Any suggestions?

Thanks Harm but I need the window burn to reference the original source media timecode. When I tried a transparent layer and adding the timecode effect to it, the timecode referenced the timeline or the length of the transparent clip.

New Update includes Timecode Burn-in filter? Where?

I edit with FCP but use AME for all my encoding. When I read the AME CC update would include the option for a timecode burn filter I was esstatic because it meant I could stop using compressor completely. I'm lost on how to implement it though... I'm sure it's easy but googling it brought me no luck. Thanks in advance.

The update you are referring to is not availble yet. It will be soon though...

Timecode burn

hello all, i have searched here and on the DVD Studio PRO site but I couldn't find an exact answer... I have compressed and sent everything to Studio and have burned several successful copies, however now i need to burn time-code and property of etc. into screening copies, and I was wondering if i need to do this in FCP and re-compress or if i could do this in Studio and make it ever present... obviously i don't want the user to be able to tun it off.... Any ideas?
thanks in advance these discussions are great and so helpful!!
EO

thanks capt,
that is what i was thinking.. i just didn't want to re-compress etc. everything.... it is a full length 93 mins feature so the compression time isn't quick... i did have an idea.... but i'm not sure this is possible... is it possible to take just the generated TC and export that? then I could layer that in as a subtitle that i make ever present... ohh well if not, just a few hours compressing over night.. hehe
cheers

Blue line burned on screen

Hello community,
I'm not sure if anyone else has had this problem but recently I have what appears to be a burned in blue line horizontally across the screen about 1/3 of the way from the bottom. Is there anyway to fix this? It's not a complete deal breaker but it's annoying especially as the phone is only about a month old.
Thanks!

You could download a screen test app and see if it produces the same blue line, but I am sure it will if your problem is the one I have seen before. Do a factory reset (No real way out of one in this case, thankfully its easy to back up everything now). If the line is still there call Customer Service and get a new device. If you are within your 30 days you will more than likely get a brand new device, if not you will get one that a certified one, which is just as good as a new one, without that new phone smell.

What happened to the Ken Burns full screen screen saver options

What happened to the Ken Burns effect full screen option for screen saver in Mountain Lion. It's not the same as Lion. Actually it *****.

Submit bug reports to http://bugreporter.apple.com/ after signing for a free online developer account:

Speeding up timecode burn?

My 5 minute 720p project renders to h264 in about 6 minutes. But if I want to burn timecode onto it, it turns into a 25 minute render. I understand that it has to re-render each frame. But that seems like a huge time penalty for such a simple effect. Any suggestions how to burn timecode into projects without burning up a lot of time?

Export the edit and reimport it as a single (avi) file and create a sequence from it. Add BITC to the sequence.

Timecode in full screen view

When I watch my videos in full screen I would like to know how much time has elapsed from the beginning of the video. The project view at the bottom of the screen does not show the playhead information so I have no idea where I am in the video. Does anyone know how to display the elapsed time in full screen mode?

You have a screen that is 1400 x 900 which is 1.26 million pixels
You're trying to fill it with an image that is 360 x 270 or 97,200 pixels. BTW that's the output from a camera with +less that 1 megapixel resolution+
There is no way that 97,200 will cover 1.26 million pixels.
As this has worked before, I wonder if the photos have changed. That's actually the size of an iPhoto thumbnail.
Have you recently imported one Library to another?

How do I add a clip-based timecode burn in to all my clips?

Howdy —
I'm trying to add a timecode based on each clip to every clip in my project. If I select all the clips and add a timecode, it's media-based — and I can't figure out how to change that except one-by-one. Can you change the timecode preferences before adding them to all of the clips?
But here's the main thing: the clip timecode just starts from 0, no matter what the clip in the sequence was cut from. Can I add a timecode that refers to the timing in the master clip? (i.e. if I'm using the last 10 seconds of a minute-long clip, it'll say: 00:50 at the start).
Thank you!

See this section of the Help files to see three ways to do it.

Spotlight icons is burning my screen

Is there anything that I can that do...I mean it's always there and yes I have a screen saver. Any thoughts or ideas.

Draining the battery was a mistake. Does the MBP charge? Perform SMC ansd PRAM resets:

Try a safe boot:

If no success, take the original install dusk and insert it into the DVD drive and boot the MBP with the C key down as if you were reinstalling the OSX.
Proceed with the directions UNTIL you see a menu bar on top of the display.
Select UTILITIES from the menu bar.
From the drop down menu, select Disk Utility.
Run Disk Utility>First Aid, Verify and Repair.
What are the results?
