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

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.

...tried Timecode burn in. Worked well. But how do I turn it off?
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)

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-in

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...

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.

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!

I want a timecode burn in my camera...please

I'm speaker training, I'm capturing direct to an external G-force drive ( non controlable device) using a new mac book pro. I've connected an external plasma display and am able to play back portions of speech instantly. I've been putting a laptop beside the subject with a digital clock displayed. I've been taking notes based on the clocks time so that I can drag the clip in the timeline and find a specific point very quickly.
My question is: Is there a device that I can connect to my GL2 that will display the time directly into the camera so that I can eliminate the laptop? I want to be able to capture the image with a digital clock/timecode.
Thanks for any help
Cheers

I sold my GL2 a while back (great camera) and I recall that there is a menu setting to send the LCD data displays to an external device - in other words, the timecode and other stuff would appear on an external monitor the same way they do on the viewfinder display.
I do not recall if there is a setting that will actually record timecode into the image - if that is what you want - but I suspect there is such a setting as well.

FCP 7.0.3 Timecode window burn

I cant seem to do a timecode window burn

In your project, make a new sequence (empty) sequence with the same settings as the finished sequence you want the timecode burn for.
Once you create the new sequence, return to your finished sequence. Remove any In or Out points. Now open the new, empty timeline you created. Drag the icon of your finished sequence from the FCP browser to the new (empty) timeline.
Your Finished sequence will appear in the new sequence as a nested track.
Now go to Effects Tab > Video Filters > Video > Timecode Reader.
Apply the Timecode Reader filter to the nested clip on your timeline.
If you want to make adjustments to the Timecode Reader filter, control-click on the nested clip and select Open from the drop-down menu. Once it is open in the viewer, click on the Filters tab to make adjustments. If you double click on the nested clip, it will open your original timeline.

Timecode generator/overlay is not working in CS6+ Mavericks

I have the creative cloud and am editing in CS6. I go to export with timecode but it glitches. The little icon apears but nothing else.

I am also having issues with the BITC overlay on export. Only shows a black box and no timecode burn in. Trying to create low-res proxy clips for the producer with matching source timecode, but no luck. Same issue on Mac Pro running OSX 10.9.5 mavericks and CC 2014 as well as a laptop running Yosemite and CC 2014. Very frustrating as I need this functionality on a daily basis.

What's the deal with Drop-Frame / Non-Drop-Frame Timecode?

I'm having trouble with 30fps Drop-Frame and 30fps Non-Drop-Frame timecode formats! I thought 29.97fps means 30fps Drop-Frame, but now I'm all confused.
I'm working with DSLR footage filmed with a frame rate of 29.97. For example, this one clip is listed as (in Project panel)
Media Start: 11:16:11:23
Media End: 11:22:42:22
Duration: 00:06:31:00
Frame Rate: 29.97fps
If I open this clip directly in Source Monitor, the timecode display (yellow, on lower left corner) says 11:16:11:23 at the beginning and 11:22:42:23 at the end. OK. But if I right-click on the timecode display, the pop-up indicates "Non-Drop-Frame"(!!). If I manually change that to "Drop-Frame", the start and end timecode would become 11:16:52:11 and 11:23:23:23, and the duration display (white, on lower right corner) becomes 6:31:12.
Now I create a new sequence of 1080p30, which has a 29.97fps time base. I right-click the yellow timecode display on the upper left corner of the Timeline, it says "30fps Drop-Frame". I drag the said clip onto the sequence. It occupies a length of 6:31:12. If I double-click the clip to open it in Source Monitor, now the Source Monitor timecode display indicates "Drop-Frame", and the start/end timecodes are 11:16:52:11 and 11:23:23:23. Huh??
Now I apply the "Timecode" effect on the clip. The timecode burn-in says 11:16:51:11 at the first frame and 11:23:23:22 at the last frame. I then go to the Effect Controls tab and look at the Timecode effect. It says
Format: SMPTE
Timecode Source: Media
Time Display: 30 Drop Frame
Just playing around, I switch "Timecode Source" to "Clip" - now the timecode burn-in goes from 00:00:00:00 to 00:06:31:11 - and then I switch it back to "Media". Now the Effect Controls tab says:
Format: SMPTE
Timecode Source: Media
Time Display: 30 Non-Drop Frame
And the timecode burn-in says 11:16:11:23 at the first frame and 11:22:42:22 at the last frame!
HUH??
Just for kickers, I switch "Timecode Source" to "Clip" again... Now "Time Display" stays on "30 Non-Drop Frame", and the timecode burn-in goes from 00:00:00:00 to 00:06:30:29.
What's the REAL length of this clip? Is it drop-frame or non-drop-frame? What are the REAL timecodes for it?
Also in a general sense, since I can change the "Time Display" field in the Timecode effect at any time, and change the Timecode display format of the Timeline at any time... How do I avoid creating mismatching timecodes??
Thanks in advance for any clarification!!

So obviously, only one of them could be "correct" in terms of reflecting what actually happened. The other one is slightly sped-up or slowed-down. You might say "oh that's a tiny difference, it doesn't matter".
Zooropa75, just for matter of clarification I want to make sure you understand that no matter which you use, it won't actually speed up or slow down your video. TC, wether it is non-drop or drop, is only a counting system. For that reason, it doesn't even matter which you use to reference edits, so long as everyone editing uses the same TC basis.
If you want actual time accurate TC, as was already mentioned, use drop-frame.
I'm going to kill two birds here. The "drag clip to new sequence button" action I was referring to in my earlier post is dragging your clip to the icon seen below. It should create a timeline using your videos format.
Also, remember I recommended looking in the manuel for "actual" time used? You can see below a snapshot I took from your cameras manuel. You're not shooting in whole numbers for anything unless you're using the 50hz system and shooting at 50p. That is the ONLY exception. ...and this is good for everyone to remember. Very few US digital cameras shoot frames per second in whole numbers. If it says you're shooting in 24p, 30p, 60p, etc. ad nauseum, you can bet your biscuits it's actually the multi-decimal NTCS counterparts like you see below And that should be your final answer. *chuckle*

Sorting, timecode positioning, cropping bug, GPU acceleration, AU support

There doesn't seem to be a way to sort the items in the queue. I added 126 videos to encode and it is terribly annoying to look at them all as a huge bubble rather than a single line with disclosure triangle.
There are no options for repositioning timecode burn-in. The title-safe options are in an awkward location, and the other options put it flush against the edge of the frame.
The cropping function looks proper in the preview but the export is actually applying it as a padding operation and strecting the cropped region to fill the fram unproportionally. Also, for some reason the crop affects the timecode burn-in and scales it as well as crops it off. I'd like the timecode placed in the letterbox area. Because of this bug, my workaround was to use Photoshop to create a 1920x1080 PNG with a 2.35 letterbox. I then used the watermark effect with full alpha to impose it onto the footage. In doing this I noticed another bug that resulted in a small artifact from the matte's edge at the line from black to transparent, almost like a scaling artifact even though there was no scaling applied.
Is there GPU acceleration? It is incredibly slow compared to Adobe Media Encoder on the same computer.
It would be awesome to have support for AU plugins to be used as effects on the audio track. The included peak limiter worked ok for the most part to boost volume, but I'd like to be able to use more professional plugins to do this. A LUT video effect would be great too.
